Packaging design goes beyond aesthetics; it must also be functional, efficient, and aligned with broader environmental goals.
In this episode of Food Waste Matters, we welcome Helen Johnston from Honey & Fox who is chatting with Zaidee Jackson. Zaidee is the National Business Development Manager for Sustainable Packaging at Ball & Doggett and the driving force behind Ecoporium, the go-to destination for sustainable packaging. Not only do Helen and Zaidee share a mutual love for biltong, but they also have a passion for packaging. Listen in as the conversation unfolds to hear about:
Complex challenges small businesses face in implementing truly sustainable packaging solutions that balance functionality, environmental impact, convenience, and cost.
Fit-for-purpose and functionality of packaging that reduces a carbon footprint and promotes a circular economy.
Design efficiency and using fewer materials which involves innovative thinking and re-engineering traditional packaging concepts.
The role that consumers play by choosing products with sustainable packaging and supporting small businesses.
Sustainable packaging is not just about meeting the demands of today but also about safeguarding the future. By ensuring that packaging is functional, efficient, and environmentally aligned, we can make a significant impact in the fight against food waste.
