White Paper: Packaging as a strategy to prevent food waste

The Ameripen white paper “Quantifying the Value of Packaging as a Strategy to Prevent Food Waste in America” delves into how packaging can reduce food waste in America and notes where further investment, research and policy should be integrated. Based on international statistics, a correlation is reported between the foods with the highest percentage of wastage and those with the least amount of packaging.
The study suggests that simple optimization strategies to reduce damage and address consumer shifts in purchasing may be effective and cost efficient in the fight against waste, also compared to further investment into emerging packaging technologies (News Release AMERIPEN, 23 January 2018).
