Innovative packaging not only protects the food it carries, but can be instrumental in preserving the environment and solving the food waste issue.
Helén Williams, PhD, is a lecturer at Karlstad University and co-author of The role of packaging in minimising food waste in the supply chain of the future. The report highlights the state of the world in 2050 as the population approaches 9 billion and the demand for food has increased by 77%.
