Increase the Effective Use, Rather Than the Production of Food

In the context of the SAVE FOOD campaign, introduced at this year’s Interpack fair in Düsseldorf, the packaging industry wants to give a more important contribution to fighting food loss. Decentralised packaging machines for the upcoming markets can improve food preservation, while the throwaway mentality of the western industrialised nations can be fought with smart packaging solutions. This sort of packaging is a very important novelty, and it refers to intelligent and active systems that mark the condition and quality of the product, and with the presence of oxygen absorbers or special acids they can contribute to keeping the food fresh for a longer while. Packaging of this kind can be useful everywhere, because as long as the food stays suitable for consumption, less food is lost, and this is valid in all parts of the World.
