Okeanos and MCT Dairies have formed a strategic partnership to distribute sustainable dairy packaging using Made From Stone technology.
Okeanos, an advanced materials firm renowned for its Made Fr om Stone technology, has entered a strategic distribution partnership with global dairy ingredients leader MCT Dairies. This collaboration will enable MCT Dairies to supply Okeanos’ eco-friendly packaging solutions throughout the dairy industry, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic packaging.
Made From Stone significantly reduces plastic content by replacing much of the plastic resin with renewable calcium carbonate, thereby cutting the carbon footprint while maintaining essential product characteristics necessary for dairy items like cheese and yogurt. Ken Meyers, president of MCT Dairies, emphasized the industry's drive toward sustainable solutions: "As packaging sustainability becomes a key differentiator in the dairy sector, this partnership gives MCT clients access to a proven, scalable solution.
We’re excited to provide our partners with cutting-edge materials that align with both regulatory pressures and consumer demand for more eco-conscious choices." Florencio Cuétera, CEO of Okeanos, noted the compatibility of the partnership: "Our collaboration with MCT Dairies is a natural fit. Their understanding of the dairy industry and longstanding relationships with top producers give us an incredible opportunity to introduce Made From Stone wh ere it can make the most impact, on high-volume, high-visibility consumer packaging." By leveraging the strength of MCT’s distribution network, dairy manufacturers can enhance their product packaging’s shelf stability and reduce environmental impact without altering current production processes.
