Fighting food waste via better packaging at Anuga FoodTec 2018

The challenge
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. Food packaging is the activity of temporarily integrating an external function and food to enable the consumption of the food. Based on the work done since 2011, NVC addresses the key challenges faced by consumers, retailers, the food industry and the packaging suppliers together before and during the Anuga FoodTec. How can we direct packaging innovation towards the limitation of food waste? Don’t hesitate to join us in one or more of the activities described below!
