Produce packaging aims to extend shelf life and appeal to consumers

According to the report Global Food: Waste Not, Want Not, published by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, between 30% and 50% of the four billion metric tons of food produced around the world each year goes to waste. While food waste happens at every stage of the food production and consumption chain, food packagers are stepping up to extend shelf life and minimize the waste and damage of fresh produce. In addition to prolonging shelf life, packagers seek to educate consumers so they can make better, more informed produce purchases.
