From product design to packaging, every company has the responsibility and the opportunity to make a difference to reduce its environmental footprint, eliminate waste, practice lean business processes and reduce resource consumption.

The entire food industry is responsible for being educated and prepared to meet the new requirements, as is the case for food safety and the safe transportation of food.
