Packaging standards

Verify better packaging choices.

I'm Not Plastic can verify different classes of packaging so businesses can communicate disposal routes with more confidence and less ambiguity.

The verification focus now covers recyclable aluminum, cardboard, and glass, compostable paper and PLA, plus refill loops for glass and stainless steel.
