Coke, Ford, Nike form bioplastic feedstock alliance
Coca-Cola, Ford, Nike and five other major consumer brand companies along with World Wildlife Fund have formed the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance (BFA) to support the development of plastics made from plant material and build a more sustainable future for the bioplastics industry. Danone, H.J. Heinz, Nestle, Procter & Gamble and Unilever are the other founding BFA members.
