Abstract
Food packaging is often considered as harming the environment. The customer has to either dispose of it or recycle it once a product is consumed. However, packaging can protect food, prolong shelf life, and reduce environmental impact by reducing food waste. Food waste is a significant environmental, economic, and social issue. Addressing food waste, therefore, has a range of positive implications for the global community. Reducing food waste is a significant way to lower production costs and increase the efficiency of the food system, improve food security and nutrition, and contribute toward a more environmentally sustainable food system. Generally speaking, food packaging can help not just to reduce household food waste by extending the shelf life of food products but by communicating and educating the best way to use and store food items, and by assisting the management of food waste. There is also a growing body of literature that identifies and examines food packaging functions and technologies that are specifically designed to reduce food waste
