Studies indicate that up to 40 % of food produced globally is wasted. In addition, food packaging is often made of non-biodegradable plastics, sometimes in conjunction with other materials like aluminium, making it hard to recycle each part. This waste ends up in landfill sites or, even worse, in the ocean. The major challenge for industry is to develop food packaging that monitors and increases shelf-life and that can be easily composted or recycled - reducing the impact on the environment.
