Early in 2016, China's environmental ministry announced that just 8 of the country's 74 largest cities passed the government's basic air quality standards in 2014.  Beijing and other Chinese cities are [choking under a blanket of smog](http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2055594/severe-smog-north-china-grounds-flights-closes-highways-and). It’s so thick in Tianjin that at times, planes can’t land.

Atmospheric pollution can quickly rob the whole life of their hard-earned products and hence, damage their company’s reputation for making quality product. Liberty offers our Intercept Packaging to combat this problem.
