IFST Food Waste Webinar Series: What about the packaging?

Organised jointly by IFST’s Food Regulatory Group, Midlands Branch and Sustainability Steering Group   

There is a lot of public interest, in terms of food packaging, in reducing plastic waste and its impact on the environment, but there is more to packaging waste than just reducing or removing the use of plastic materials. This webinar will provide information on what constitutes food packaging waste, the producer responsibilities around such waste and which food businesses might have a packaging obligation. It will also look at an example of a company that has developed fully compostable packaging for its products.

Chair: Sam Jennings, Director of Berry Ottaway & Associates Ltd, Chair of IFST Food Regulatory Group

Speaker: Linda Crichton, Extended Producer Responsibility, Resources and Waste, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Speaker: Charles Baughan, Westaways Sausages
