- Summary:
- Plastic waste and single-use packaging are pressing global concerns—but food packaging is also crucial for reducing food waste, ensuring food safety and delivering essential information. Therefore, the packaging of food is also a sustainability solution, not just a problem. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the sustainability of food packaging, drawing from economics, environmental science, technology, social sciences and cultural studies. It explores the key principles of sustainable packaging while addressing critical gaps in current assessments as well as the role of innovation, policy and consumer behavior. With a holistic systems perspective, Sustainability Transition in Food Packaging: Systems, Actors and Innovation offers fresh insights into the challenges and innovations shaping the future of packaging. Essential reading for researchers, industry professionals and policymakers, this book provides actionable pathways toward a more sustainable and responsible food packaging system.
