That\u2019s among the takeaways of research led by Michigan State University\u2019s School of Packaging, detailed in a recently released white paper.<\/p>\n<p>The study found that whole fruits and vegetables, particularly bananas and lettuce, are the foods most wasted by households, with dairy products, prepared packaged foods and leftovers also common culprits. \u201cHalf-eaten packaged food products and food without packaging that spoiled before it was eaten are the two primary reasons for food waste in American household[s], indicating there is opportunity for improved packaging design to help consumers with extending shelf life, reuse, and size,\u201d the white paper states.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers reported that consumers identified \u201cno packaging,\u201d \u201cbag\/ pouch,\u201d and \u201ctray with wrap, film, or snap fit lid\u201d to be the packaging types they used that resulted in the most household food waste. Researchers also said that while consumers\u2019 current understanding of packaging technologies is \u201climited,\u201d they indicated \u201cthey would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingdive.com\/news\/packaging-food-waste-freshness-research-ameripen-eref-msu\/700058\/\">Packaging Dive<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-436\/\">Using more packaging could cut food waste, research suggests<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1589,829],"class_list":["post-118879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-food-waste","tag-packaging"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118879\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
