Larry Baner is a Packaging Research Scientist at Nestle Purina PetCare.
I’ve worked at Nestlé for 22 years, and I like to remind people that I’ve been working in sustainability since ‘before it was cool!’ My specialty is designing packaging for Purina dry dog food, so I work in the packaging and design group at the Product Technology Center for Nestlé Purina PetCare.
As a scientist, I am always trying to understand how to use new materials to make our packaging better. You may not realize how much care and attention goes into deciding on the best packaging for our products, but I spend a lot of time researching new ideas and materials.
