>I would be more inclined to agree with your argument regarding progress/innovation if there were more novel plastics coming to the market for food packaging but that isn't really the case and there hasn't been anything ground-breaking since PET.
disagree. there are new plastics constantly , and using bio-degradable plastics in packaging is getting a huge push within the industry for the past few years.
One example would be bovine-gelatin-films which are a new replacement for 'saran-wrap' style wrapping plastics.
a push for biodegradable plastics has been active since the U.N. listed it as a goal.
one imagines it would be hard to fully vet every proposed idea, there are thousands. Time will tell which will be human-kind.
Bovine gelatin is made from the animal’s brain tissues and it was a major transmission vector in the UK CJD disaster. At least that was the story then, apparently the truth is not so.
