Rethinking packaging for circular and sustainable food supply chains of the future

2nd CIRCUL-A-BILITY Conference

Rethinking packaging for circular and sustainable food supply chains of the future

Packaging protects the food throughout its life cycle, interacts with the consumer, and in addition to making our life more convenient, keeps the food safe, ensures its quality, and an optimal shelf life.
Progress is urgently needed to improve food packaging sustainability and secure its circularity, while minimizing food waste.

The conference will include research focused on sustainable food packaging solutions, under the COST Action CIRCUL-A-BILITY community.
As a whole systems approach is needed, this conference will bring together scientists with different backgrounds to share research results, debate ideas and solutions, and collaborate for a swift transition to more sustainable packaging.
