Food & Food Packaging
As populations grow and farmlands shrink, Dow helps to ensure safe and plentiful supplies of food through better packaging, more effective insecticides and herbicides, and biotechnology advances. Our plastics help create food packages that are stronger, easier to open, and clear so people can see what they buy. Dow helps food last longer and keeps moist foods moist and dry foods dry. We even reduce the need for refrigeration. Dow also protects the beverages people drink. From unbreakable plastic bottles to barrier layers, we maintain the fizz in soft drinks and the purity of bottled water. Our products also line metal cans, preserving taste and shelf life. We help sauces cling better to meats and give consistency to salad dressings. And food additives – such as glycerin – make gum and dried fruits easier to chew. In the fields, we accelerate plant growth, fight pests, kill weeds, and combat crop disease. With an eye on the future, Dow is using its biotechnology advances with seeds and grains to increase yields around the world.
