The Future of Food Packaging
Invest Northern Ireland along with The College of Agriculture Food and Rural Enterprise are actively encouraging local collaboration by running a series of sustainable packaging webinars entitled The Future of Food Packaging.
The Northern Ireland Food and Packaging Industry is rapidly changing in response to consumer demand for more sustainable packaging. To meet this growing sustainability requirement there needs to be a closer collaboration between local government, research bodies, manufacturers, retailers and recyclers to identify innovative packaging solutions.
