About Özlem A.
Inspired by Barry Commoner\'s vision of living in sync with nature, I am an integral part of the Sustainable Packaging team at Kraft Heinz. My role is centered around reducing virgin plastic use, enhancing the integration of recycled content, and advancing the use of bio-sourced plastics and commercialization. These initiatives are pivotal in our journey towards more sustainable global packaging solutions in our rigid and flexible portfolio.My work involves collaborating with academia and industry leaders to push the boundaries of material technology in polymer science. This collaboration is critical in driving sustainable innovation in the packaging, personal care, and food science sectors. As a professional in polymer technology, I am dedicated to exploring and understanding the complex relationships between polymer composition, structure, and properties to advance eco-friendly practices.Outside of the lab, my passions include pilates and culinary exploration. I\'m eager to connect with fellow professionals and organizations who share a commitment to sustainability and innovative solutions.#SustainablePackaging #VirginPlasticReduction #RecycledContent #BioSourcedPlastics #KraftHeinz
