Packaging development for eco-effective circular systems

29 June 2016

In current packaging development models and tools, there is a limited focus on the development integration of product-packaging combinations for eco-effective circular systems. Researchers from the Top Institute Food and Nutrition in Wageningen NL address this issue in a paper published in Packaging Technology and Science. Their analysis identified three types of integration that are important: the integrated product-packaging development, the cross-functional integration of actors and the front-end integration of sustainable considerations. A research agenda is suggested to determine possible research directions targeting these types of integration into future packaging development.
