Bringing innovative packaging from Indonesia to Japan
Consuming a shocking 30 billion disposable plastic bags a year, Japan is known for its beautiful, yet excessive packaging. And not much has been done about this issue. At the same time, Indonesian social enterprises such as Avani and Evoware have invented disruptive packaging solutions using biodegradable materials.
