Abstract(s)
The implementation of sustainable food packaging solutions within future circular
food supply chains is essential to protect customers and ensure food quality, safety, and
optimal shelf-life. This will be improved by new innovative packaging materials and will
contribute to reducing food waste. In this direction, it is important to employ lifecycle
assessment (LCA) to define food supply chain impacts, taking into consideration food
waste, global food industry environmental impacts, and shipping distances, with the aim
of achieving consumer satisfaction. It is important to share data on (i) the consequences of
specific food product–package interactions, (ii) the consideration of the utilization of novel
packaging biomaterials, and (iii) overall consumer behavior and satisfaction as a critical
focus. The aim of this Special Issue was to bring the most updated information in the new
era of sustainability and food packaging.
