The global desire to reduce plastic consumption is driving the development of sustainable solutions to match, or supersede, the quality of existing packaging – for the same or lower costs. 

Minimisation, life cycle management and design for reuse and recyclability form the key elements of development in food and beverages packaging, which is frequently required to fall in line with strict government rules and sanctions. 

HGF’s highly experienced food and beverages packaging team delivers IP strategy support and implementation for in-house teams at multinational firms and SMEs. This covers drafting, filing and prosecuting patents, trade mark and design registrations and freedom to operate projects, along with infringement and validity opinions, oppositions and enforcement.
