About Kelly Williams
For over 25 years, I’ve been at the forefront of flexible packaging innovation, specializing in bioplastics, compostable materials, and sustainable packaging solutions. My career has spanned plastics manufacturing, printing, converting, and, more recently, pioneering circular and regenerative packaging strategies.Now, as an independent consultant, I help brands, retailers, packaging manufacturers, and industry organizations transition to compostable, circular, and high-performance sustainable packaging solutions. My focus is on real-world implementation—not just theory—ensuring that new materials, technologies, and supply chain strategies are viable, scalable, and effective.What I Do: Sustainable Packaging Strategy – Aligning materials with performance, regulatory, and sustainability goals Application Development & Testing – Validating new biopolymers, cellulosics, and compostable materials Circular Economy Integration – Roadmaps for waste valorization, compostable solutions & regenerative design Industry Collaboration & Innovation – Connecting innovators with brands to drive real impactI believe that waste isn’t waste—it’s a feedstock. The future of packaging lies in biomaterials that work with nature, not against it. My work focuses on leveraging enzymatic processing, high-surface cellulose, and biomaterials to create the next generation of earth-digestible packaging.If you\'re looking for an expert who understands both packaging engineering and sustainable strategy, let’s connect!
