Moreover, approximately 30% is incinerated and the rest ends up being discarded

Packaging is an especially important step in the complete process to which food is exposed, from its processing or preservation to its supply or distribution chain. The main function of packaging is to contain and protect the products. This, in turn, has led to concerns about the environmental friendliness, biodegradability and sustainability of the packaging materials. And there have also been many developments focused on improving the performance of packaging systems.
What are PET/PE containers and why are they revolutionary
