Abstract

The size of food wastage, including loss – during the production and supply chain, and waste – in retail and consumption, is a serious problem. Although food loss and waste differ across various parts of the world, the West is a major contributor to the problem. Food packaging adds to the severity of the situation as it heavily relies on plastics which contribute to microplastics pollution, which is spreading over the planet. The chapter covers the history of waste and discusses the need for reduction. Mimicking nature where there are no discarded materials is another strategy. Current developments to reduce waste and plastics-based packaging of food are also covered.
