The World Packaging Organisation (WPO) will conduct a webinar on 18 September, which will discuss the true role that packaging plays in minimising food loss and waste.
While the primary function of packaging has always been to protect, contain, preserve and transport a product from paddock to plate, the function of intuitive save food packaging design to minimise food loss and waste is only now being discussed across the globe.
Save food packaging is designed to minimise or prevent food waste from paddock to plate using innovative and intuitive design features that can contain and protect, preserve, extend shelf life, easily open and reseal, provide consumer convenience and portion control – all the while meeting global sustainable packaging targets.
Without adequate design features and packaging that is fit-for-purpose, food can potentially be wasted all the way through the value chain to the household.
The discussion will also showcase Best Practice award-winning Save Food Packaging winners from the WorldStar Packaging Awards, and teach you how to embed save food packaging design into your business.
Speakers include Nerida Kelton, vice-president Sustainability & Save Food at WPO, who will be joined by Soha Atallah, coordinator of the WorldStar Packaging Awards.
The webinar, which will be held on 18 September at 7pm (AEST), is free for all of industry to attend. Book your place today by clicking here.
