No one plans to waste food. Yet one third of the food produced worldwide is lost or wasted — with serious consequences for the climate, biodiversity, and the resources we depend on. How is this possible? One important part of the answer lies in how food is packaged. Packaging has transformed how we protect, store, and transport food. But protecting food is only part of the challenge. Packaging must also work for people — helping them store, portion, empty, and use food in ways that prevent waste. This book explores how smarter packaging design can reduce food waste — and why the most sustainable package is not always the one with the least material. It challenges conventional thinking about sustainable packaging and shows how better design can make more sustainable choices easier. Because sometimes, a little more packaging can mean a lot less waste.
