An award for innovation in fish bag packaging was given during the CONAI 2020 Prevention Call, and the award has been entered into Comieco's Best Pack database as a result. The new packaging uses a paper bag wrapped in a metalized HDPE film designed to be manually removed from the cellulosic material. 

One more award-winning innovation was that discovered at the Worldstar Packaging Awards 2021 was an Australian packaging product called Lobster Protector, which is used in lobster packaging. The product is plastic-free, recyclable, biodegradable, renewable, and environmentally friendly.

As a result, the majority of companies in this sector should accept this mandate and devote themselves to investing more in this innovative idea and conducting high-level research and development to come up with the best possible solutions for their products and the environment.  Some firms have already gotten underway with this idea indicated earlier, and other businesses can begin as well.
