Food: Packaging Against Waste
Without any packaging, however, most foods cannot be transported, stored, or sold, and in their unpackaged state, they would prematurely spoil. The protective wrapping keeps harmful influences like light, oxygen, or humidity away and prevents soiling or damage. An extended shelf-life is a meaningful contribution to reducing food waste.
