Sustainability is a top priority for the global food and beverage industry with increasing scrutiny from consumers, governments, and pressure groups.
Two current areas of focus are: minimising food and drink loss and wastage on the one hand; and reducing the use of virgin plastics in packaging, on the other.
Waste in the supply chain
High food wastage is a global cause for concern because of numerous associated economic, social and environmental impacts. There is a significant amount of food and beverage loss in the supply chain, including during storage and distribution, with a lot of this wastage being avoidable.
Adhesive tapes are a key part of the industry’s packing processes; however, the wrong choice can lead to an increased risk of damaged or wasted goods.
Reducing reliance on virgin plastics
Most food and beverage companies are looking to reduce their use of virgin plastics in their packaging and packing processes, following increasing scrutiny in recent years.
