IUFoST Scientific Roundtable Discussion #7 SUSTAINABLE FOOD PACKAGING

“Sustainable packaging (also referred to as eco-friendly, environmentally-friendly and green packaging) is frequently discussed in the popular and trade media and is something that almost all major food companies have publicly committed to. However, defining what sustainable packaging actually is presents a challenge and there is no single universally-accepted definition.” (ref. Gordon Robertson, IUFoST Scientific Information Bulletin on Sustainable Packaging).
