When we think of eco-friendly packaging, we often consider a package’s effects on the environment. For example, is it biodegradable? Can it be manufactured in a sustainable manner? Will it end up in a landfill where it can be harmful to plants and animals?
These are all good points, but an issue that isn’t considered as much in the environmental plan is food waste.
Sure, waste is always considered in environmental matters, but what many people overlook is that there are manufacturing methods that can be incorporated when you design food packaging that may keep products from spoiling and cut down on waste.
