Can a plastic packaging company really build a forest

Sustainability  is frequently concerned with recycled materials, manufacturing practices, and environmental goals. Those things count.   But sometimes sustainability becomes visible in a different way.   At  AVI Global Plast , one such initiative took shape as a Miyawaki forest with more than 2,500 native trees.   At first, it may seem unusual.
