Aiding the Design of Innovative and Sustainable Food Packaging: Integrating Techno-Environmental and Circular Economy Criteria
Open accessAbstract
Reducing food waste and increasing resource efficiency have become worldwide targets as highlighted by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12 – Responsible consumption and production. Food packaging, in particular plastics-based, is a key component of food-related waste: packaging increases the amount of total waste, but also reduces potential food waste by protecting food products and prolonging their shelf life. Therefore, it is important that packaging is designed as to satisfy both technical and environmental criteria. Hence, this paper seeks to develop a decision-support framework and key metrics to aid development and selection of new innovative food packaging within a circular economy context. A set of indicators is proposed, integrating techno-environmental and circular economy criteria to help designers as well as food and packaging manufacturers develop more sustainable products. The methodology is illustrated through a prototype new plastic packaging developed as part of this project, considering its use for two types of product – raspberries and meat – as illustrative examples.

Packaging increases the total amount of waste, in particular plastics-based packaging, but on the other hand, it reduces food waste as it protects food products and prolongs shelf life.
“Schmidt Rivera et al. (2019) advised designers to consider two aspects for food packaging design: packaging increases the total amount of waste, in particular plastics-based packaging, but on the other hand, it reduces food waste as it protects food products and prolongs shelf life.”
From Packaging design for the circular economy: A systematic review (2022) · cites this paper as Schmidt Rivera et al. (2019)
The Introduction (p. 2) says packaging protects food, reduces food waste and prolongs shelf life, while identifying single-use plastics as an environmental burden. The Conclusions (p. 8) advise designers to consider both food and packaging waste. Neither passage establishes that packaging increases the total amount of waste overall, rather than adding packaging waste that may be offset by reduced food waste. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
