Today we had a session on sustainable packaging with DesignRepublic Francis Van Acker , Professor Karine Van Doorsselaer from University of Antwerp and Marie Jemine founder of L'Empoteuse Key takeaways : - the less the better (packaging) - protect food first : see how you can conserve better using simple reusable packaging - the industry is rapidly changing and there are more and more and cheaper solutions than you think : check L’Empoteuse - 1 packaging type is better than a mix of packaging (see below) - beware of greenwashing with solutions such as restaurant paper dishes (coated with plastic to make them waterproof) : they look more sustainable but are way worse that a full plastic packaging like PET - there is no one size fits all : it all depends on your product and process - collaboration is key in the whole food chain (is your packaging adapted from the production to the logistics and consumption ? Did you check with your partners ?) The Foodup programme is sponsored by Bruxelles Environnement - Leefmilieu Brussel in the framework of the #GoodFood strategy. #foodup #foodupbrussels #foodentrepreneur #sustainablefood #alimentationdurable #bruxelles🇧🇪 #brussels #foodiebrussels

Packaging sustainability is a great way to reduce the impact of consumer goods on the planet, but companies may run the risk of “greenwashing” their products. To avoid making products seem more environmentally friendly than they are, CRB's Katie Ireland and Mary Jo Werlein of Adept Group (Adept Packaging) will discuss approaches to address sustainability effectively in packaging at this year’s 🐾Petfood Forum Events.

Since 2016 Enveritas has worked to provide sustainability assurance for some of the world’s largest coffee businesses – so much so that if a major global roaster sourcing thousands of tonnes of coffee a year has released a ‘responsible’ sourcing claim, it’s very likely to have worked with Enveritas behind the scenes. David Browning, CEO of sustainability auditor Enveritas, speaks to 5THWAVE about what it takes to become a responsible coffee business at scale, how EU deforestation rules can work for all stakeholders and why he’s optimistic for the future of the coffee industry.

#SuperlistGreen2023, published last week, shows the progress Dutch supermarkets have made on environmental sustainability since 2021: - Dutch supermarkets have become increasingly transparent and have set more ambitious targets for sustainability.  - For the first time, all supermarkets, except for Plus, report individually on the proportions of animal and plant-based proteins in their sales.  - Lidl and Albert Heijn are fully transparent about product certifications, origin, cultivation and transport methods in their sales. While transparency is an important first step, nature and climate only profit from changes in practice. Therefore the main recommendations for practice in Superlist Green 2023 are: - Reduce the proportion of red meat promotions in the advertising leaflets and avoid multi-buy promotions on meat. - Ensure sustainable food choices are available in every product category, or preferably, avoid products that are not covered by any certification or procurement policy. - Support projects that try to restore the damage caused by deforestation.
