Date and Time
Wed 26 August 2020
2:00 pm – 3:00 pm AEST
.
Join the APCO team for our weekly Community Meetings to explore the sustainability topics that matter most to our network.
.
This webinar will be looking at the journey of food from farm to fork– and the important role packaging plays in food waste prevention. Globally, one-third of all food produced for human consumption around the world goes to waste and here in Australia the government estimates food waste costs the Australian economy $20 billion each year. As Australian businesses and communities look to phase-out single-use plastic packaging, and redesign their packaging for recoverability, food waste avoidance is another critical issue packaging designers must consider.
.
Topics for discussion include:
- An update on the research and projects being delivered within the Fight Food Waste CRC – an organisation that brings together industry, research and the community to capitalise on Australia’s food waste opportunities.
- Training, tools and resources for businesses working to reduce food waste through packaging
- Save Food Packaging Design Guidelines
- Award-winning Best Practice examples of Save Food Packaging Design
