Sustainable meat packaging: balancing circularity and food waste The results reveal a key trade-off: while recyclable solutions enhance circularity, shorter shelf life can increase food waste. This highlights the need to integrate shelf-life and food-waste expertise directly into sustainable packaging design, rather than treating them as separate challenges. This insight comes from our work on sustainable meat packaging, focused on balancing circularity and food waste in mono-material and bio-based packaging for cured meats. The research was led by Anna Mengozzi, supervised by Emma Chiavaro and myself, in collaboration with Paula Quinteiro, Marta Ferreira Dias, Ilke Uysal Unalan, Daniele Carullo, and Stefano Farris. #SustainablePackaging #FoodWaste #ShelfLife #CircularEconomy #CIRCUL-A-BILITY #COSTACTION Full research: https://lnkd.in/dsER6W4H  https://lnkd.in/djP6PjYS https://lnkd.in/dCEPxZJh https://lnkd.in/dKubcbHW
