Editorial - Preserving food and the planet: Sustainable packaging for a circular food economy

Ensuring global food security while minimizing environmental impact has become one of the defining challenges of our century. Roughly one third of all food produced is lost or wasted worldwide, contributing nearly 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the food packaging sector, his...
