Google wants to end the plastic madness and they’re not playing around.

25 May, 2023 — Google launched the Google Single-Use Plastics Challenge, where food companies can showcase their sustainable packaging skills. If you make the cut, you’ll pitch your genius to Google and maybe even some big food players.
But Google has some demands. They dig reusables and edible packaging. They’ll tolerate recycled packaging, glass, and aluminum, but they’re not thrilled.
While straws and cups get the spotlight, food service and cafeterias are drowning in plastic. Google wants to change that. They’re taking on the plastic hidden in containers and wrappers.
The deadline for the Google Single-Use Plastic Challenge is May 30th.
