Packaging & Waste
*

Packaging and food waste is an issue that is close to many shoppers’ hearts. Our research has shown that more than half (54%) of consumers are already allowing some shopping decisions to be influenced by the perceived environmental impact of packaging.

Industry has responded to the concerns of shoppers by improving both product and packaging design, communicating a more consistent message to consumers to help reduce waste, and much more. Find out what else is being, and can be, done from all our factsheets, articles and case studies on packaging and waste. 

You can also see a sample of publicly available documents on packaging & waste that are of relevance to the food and grocery supply chain with our new report library.
