What is Sustainable Food Packaging ?
One of the most important parts of sustainability comes in the type of materials used to package the products. And the right packaging can provide a much longer shelf life and much safer foods for consumption from the time they are made available until the consumer has finished with them. Additionally, there is a movement to ensure all packaging is environmentally friendly and recyclable to avoid more problems with landfill overflow.
The Australian Food and Grocery Council has been working on ways to help food manufacturers attain more sustainability through proper packaging. It’s important for companies to understand that they must consider not just how the foods are packaged but also how the packaging itself is made. The Council is working on educating companies on how to create more sustainable packaging for all types of foods for better consumer safety. There are a couple of methods they are using for this process.
Food Technology at i3L School of Life Sciences
The Food Technology program at i3L aims to satisfy the needs of the society for sustainable food quality, safety and security. This field applies the principles of science to ensure safe manufacture, packaging and distribution. Students will complete a rigorous scientific curriculum that balances classroom lectures with practical sessions in our state-of-the-art laboratories.
The Food Innovation Centre allows students to have trainings in our modern, on-campus food processing facilities. We strongly encourage our students to create innovative food products. Relevant work experience is the key to a successful career in the increasingly competitive food industry.
At i3L, we have broad industry network and links to leading research organizations around the world to support students in finding suitable internships that can help them pave the way to their dream career.
