Both Sealed Air and the AIP are consortium members for the Save Food Packaging Project for the Fight Food Waste CRC.\n\rThe key topic of this episode is the launch of the first Industry Insights report from the CRC that reveals the extent of the problem when it comes to food manufacturers taking responsibility for preventing food waste.\n\rWe start the discussion by asking Alan to provide a brief outline of the extent of the food waste and loss problem the people of Australia, and the world, are facing along with an explanation of what the Save Food Packaging Project is. Nerida then talks about the reasons for the report, its scope and the stakeholders involved.\n\rThe discussion then moves on to the key findings of the report and some of the perceived barriers to the adoption of packaging that will save food waste. We wrap up the episode by covering some of the important recommendations going forward and the next steps for the Save Food Packaging Project following this research work.\n\rThe Save Food Packaging Consortium is made up of the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) as project lead, and RMIT as the research partner; project contributors are ZipForm Packaging, Sealed Air, Multivac and APCO; project partners are Plantic Technologies, Result Group and Ulma Packaging; and the extension network consists of Australian Food Cold Chain Council (AFCCC), Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) and the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST).\n\r------------------------------\nThe PKN Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of PKN Packaging News, owned and published by Yaffa Media.\n\rThe views of the people featured on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views of PKN Packaging News, Yaffa Media, or the guest's employer.
