Several years ago Rocky Batzel wanted to find a better solution to help his grandmother open and close child-resistant packaging caps on her pill bottles. His journey led him to start SnapSlide LLC, which has developed a new type of no-torque, child-resistant (CR) closure that enables single-handed opening of pharmaceutical bottles. The product is now going commercial.

The pet food industry is reacting and promoting healthy products with functional ingredients and new dosage forms. The use of insect proteins could become a trend. Many pet food manufacturers are also switching to more sustainable, recyclable packaging.
