In this interview, Julien Boucher, co-founder and Head of Research at Earth Action, discusses the findings of the From Pack to Plate report, which quantifies the transfer of micro- and nanoplastics from food packaging into food and beverages. He explains the main drivers of particle release—including UV exposure, heat, and mechanical stress—and outlines practical measures that food and beverage companies can take to reduce emissions through improved packaging design and handling. Julien Boucher also highlights the need for food safety regulations to better account for particle migration alongside chemical contamination.
