Everything that moves is in packaging, but the reality is, it’s one of the most damaging sectors to our environment with plastic pollution costing $13 billion in economic damage annually. Global research has shown the flow of plastic into the ocean each year could triple by 2040, and the UN predicts there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. At Zume, we believe that a world without single-use plastics is both possible and inevitable. That’s why we’ve created the world’s most advanced molded fiber manufacturing equipment and patented technology that provides global food brands with an alternative to single-use plastic. Our single tech stack enables brands to deliver on their sustainability pledges as we offer the hardware + software + services to make it easy and possible to swap out plastic packaging with sustainable alternatives.
