Food waste is an issue for every business
in the food industry
Reducing the amount of food wasted should be a concern for everyone in the food industry as food production produces CO2.
These are the main facts about food waste*:
- 1/3 of all food produced globally is being wasted
- This corresponds to 1.6 billion tons of edible food being wasted each year
- 8% of all CO2 emissions come from food production
Food waste is indeed a global problem. A problem which needs solving across food chains globally. So why not solve this issue together? We must, together will all stakeholders, work closely together to start making the smart choices when it comes to packaging.
Packaging is perceived as the problem,
but packaging is key in solving the issues.
Packaging is often seen to be a part of the problem, but it plays a major role in solving the issue. Together with our customers and partners, we continually strive to design solutions that help reduce food waste by focusing on premium protection, extended shelf life, reclosable solutions, and right-sized portions.
Plastic and aluminium packaging can help in many ways, by keeping food fresh for longer and protect the food against damage. It gives food producers and retailers time to sell the product, and consumers more time to use it. And most importantly, when the food is packed well, the shelf life in the shop is extended, thereby reducing food waste. In fact, in a packed ready meal, the packaging only makes up 5% of total CO2 emissions. The food makes up app. 70% and transport and logistics 25%. By choosing the right packaging you can help reduce food waste.
