Today, the severe environmental issues created by petroleum-based paper, plastic and polystyrene packaging are reaching epidemic levels, polluting our oceans and quickly filling our available landfill capacities.  Consumers, governments and industry are awakening to the non-sustainability of packaging material that is used for 15 minutes but lasts several hundred years.

Late in 2003, M2 recognized this impending global crisis and predicted that government and industry leaders would seek sustainable packaging solutions that do not cause harm to our environment.  Three years later, our predictions are coming true, as governments in many countries and states impose fines and restrictions on unsustainable packaging, and leading food retailers and foodservice operators demand natural alternatives to traditional packaging.

M2 is proud to offer a comprehensive earth-friendly packaging solution for food manufacturers, food retailers and foodservice operators.  We have developed strong global partnerships with suppliers of highly functional and competitively-priced biodegradable produce, meat/poultry and frozen entrée packaging trays made from annually renewable resources, shrink and cling (overwrap) films, produce netting, soaker pads, and cutlery (including starch-based spoons, forks, knives and straws), as well as compostable labels made from cellulose and printed with water-based inks.  No other company can claim to offer this complete package and a number of leading food manufacturers and retailers have already chosen to partner with M2 to introduce earth-friendly packaging solutions that benefit the environment and provide a significant marketing and public relations advantage.
