This leads to a discussion of Twelve8 Technology's formation to help both people and the environment along with its focus on integrity and ensuring its products produce proven results, and that its claims are verified.\n\rAnthony describes the PaktoEarth plastic additive technology and explains how it presents a compelling interim solution to dealing with \"escaped plastic\" that ends up in landfill, as it enables a full degradation process within two years.\n\rAnthony explains that the SafetoShare product is an easy-to-apply resin coating for fibre-based packaging (cartonboard and corrugated) that repels 99.9 per cent of bacteria and viruses.\n\rThe discussion for both products covers target markets, take-up globally and roadblocks in Australia with a focus on cost effectiveness, benefits for potential clients, and international sales growth.\n\rThe episode wraps with a review of the various awards that SafetoShare has won, its Food Safe approval and the product variants available in addition to the product's benefits during the current Coronavirus pandemic.\n\r------------------------------\nThe PKN Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of PKN Packaging News, owned and published by Yaffa Media.\n\rThe views of the people featured on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views of PKN Packaging News, Yaffa Media, or the guest's employer.
