Packaging conference addresses fight against food waste

Two billion people suffer from obesity and 800 million people live on the edge of starvation. This is the reality in a world where huge amounts of edible food are wasted, either in the supply chain up to the consumer or at home by that same consumer after the purchase.
On 22 March 2018 the international packaging community gathered at the Anuga FoodTec in Cologne (Germany) to address the issue. How can we define the right conditions to stimulate packaging innovation in to the right direction, i.e. the limitation of food waste? Insights were shared based on a range of thought-provoking lectures by i.a. Barilla, APEAL, the REFRESH project, NVC and Istituto Italiano Imballaggio.
