Plastics Make it Possible Honors National Frozen Food Month
In honor of National Frozen Food Month, Plastics Make it Possible recognized innovations in plastics that help deliver convenient and nutritious frozen foods, particularly those creations that have led to less packaging and food waste.
Frozen food packaging has changed dramatically since the 1920s when Clarence Birdseye developed methods for quick freezing foods. While frozen foods today are packaged in many materials, technological advances coupled with the rise of the microwave have made plastics the go-to choice for many frozen foods, from vegetable medleys to ready-to-heat meals to gourmet ice cream.
