With a growing population and rapid urbanisation, smart and recyclable packaging for food is essential to a sustainable lifestyle. It is also vital to understand that packaging is the hero and not the villain when it comes to food waste. So, in many ways the forest and its products can play a crucial role in making sure we are able to feed future generations.
By using climate-smart packaging made from renewable materials we can extend the shelf life of food, bringing us another step closer to a sustainable world.
Around 88 million tonnes of food are wasted annually, that is a a lot of pressure on our planet. Smart and recyclable food packaging is essential to get rid of the food waste.
One third of all food that is produced every year globally goes to waste or is thrown away.
Every year, roughly a third of the food produced in the world for human consumption is lost or wasted. The problem is that inadequate packaging - or no packaging at all - reduces the quality of food and results in waste, according to Helén Williams, senior lecturer in Environment and Energy systems at Karlstad University studies.
