Improved packaging can minimize food loss and waste by reducing spoilage and increasing recovery across supply chains.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of Australian research that explored the role of packaging in minimizing food waste in the supply chain. The economic, social and environmental costs of food waste have been well documented elsewhere. This research contributes to the debate by identifying opportunities to reduce or recover food loss and waste through improved packaging.
