the world’s food goes to waste.
22. PERES is the world’s first portable "electronic nose"
– a unique and innovative device and mobile
application which enables users to determine the
quality and freshness of pork, beef, chicken and fish

24. Nowadays a lot of techniques,
approaches and innovations have been
invented in order to solve the problem
of food loss.

68. Packaging & Food waste
A complex relationship with large potential

69. Food waste – the crude picture

Enormous problem with large uncertainties
70. Food waste - implications
▪Overall solutions
correspond roughly in
environmental impact to
the targets set by the
Kyoto-treaty
!
!
▪~ -340 €/hh.a
71. Causes of Food waste
▪Strict quality selection
▪Poor initial quality
▪Faulty handling
▪Optimistic purchase
policies
▪Poorly designed packages
▪Too enthusiastic cooking
▪Forgotten stock...
Packaging failure in
distribution
Food perishing
after sales
Confusion about shelf life
& food safety
72. One of the many causes
▪Poorly engineered packages are only one of the many
causes of food waste
!
▪but at least it is a tangible one,
!
▪and it can be addressed
!
▪and it strengthens the role of the packaging designer

75. Robustness of packaging design
▪Many food packages on the market are engineered based
on experience
!
▪Most have not been engineered / designed to:
● be Fit for purpose
● be in compliance with the essential demands
● cause minimal food loss
76. Chances for packaging technologies
▪Classical ▪Advanced
Shelf life of food product can still be extended with weeks
79. Portion size
▪Design for smaller households
!
▪Redesign products to single consumption
items to avoid spoilage of the not-
directly consumed stock
80. Intelligent packaging
√ Reduce distribution errors (faulty deliveries)
□ Improve handling in supply chain
□ Assist civilians to stocking food correctly
□ Advanced shelf life codes
81. Game changer
▪Food waste is an emerging major societal issue that has
the potential
● to change markets
● to redefine the environmental impact discussion
!
!
▪Resulting in a multitude of opportunities for packaging
designers
82. Thanks
Food waste is a serious,
complex societal issue
!
!

!
And it offers opportunities
for packaging designers
within food companies

147. Creating hunger
Save Food by Creating Hunger. Removing blocks and
barriers. Novelty requires to change the approach, behavior
and the way of thinking.
189. Why does it not effect the problem?
!
Because we are in control of the
chain
190. Why does it not effect the problem?
• It’s against our instincts.
!
• We are programmed and kindly requested to
consume more every year.
!
• We need to change the behavior mix of
purchasing, cooking, eating and celebrating
food. To change life as we know it.
195. One slide from the dark side.
• Can we change rapidly what has been normal for so
long?
!
• Is food waste a given fact?
!
• Can we improve a system of food production,
which is so efficient as it now?
!
• Are the awareness and all green initiatives not already
optimized?
196. Ideas to effect the problem
• Regulate food promotions.
!
• More food experts in supermarkets.
!
• Dont make it “news” but make it “experience”.
!
• Unpack and dispense.
!
• Transparant footprint.

224. THE DIY Evaluation criteria
!
1) How well does the concept address the problem
of how to reduce food loss?
!
2) How creative is the approach?
!
3) How comprehensive and detailed is the concept?
235. Almost 45% of the roots and
tubers are being thrown away
before they ever reach the
consumer. This amounts to
nearly 4.000.000 tons of pro-
duct waste similar to 1 billion
bags of potatoes.
This waste and surplus can be
processed into biological plas-
tic. Biological plastic expires in
two years and can easily be
thrown away and composed.
This leads to less plastic waste
and a better environment.
Food producers use biological
plastic as a packaging material
to be more environmentally
responsible.
Consumers buy products which
are made of biological plastic.
Biological plastic can give extra
value to a product.
Consumers scan these products
with their smartphones to get
more information about the
food waste of the packaging
material and the consequences
for the environment.
Using the app will give consu-
mers information about what
they contributed to by buying
the responsible package. The
consumers will get a good fee-
ling about themselves and will
be inclined to buy products
made of biological plastic. This
will give a positive feedback to
food producers, which will
encourage food producers to
use more biological materials
for their packaging.

274. Background
Eating out has become quite popular in Russia.
However good restaurants appeared just a
couple of decades ago. And became affordable
even later.
In Russia the culture of eating out is still being
formed.
275. So if people order more than they can
eat they never take the left overs
home as it seems to show their
poverty or greed.
276. And tons of food are
sent to the waste bin
every day.
277. We thought of
the way to
change
people’s
attitude to
taking the left
food home.
279. We created a series of exquisite
hand-made packages for the
left-overs so people would
really want to have one.
280.
281.
282. We made the packaging from stone-paper. Stone Paper is a sustainable, environmentally-friendly alternative to
traditional pulp paper which means no trees cut, tons of water saved and no chemicals used. Besides, the
package is water and oil-resistant!
283. WE SUGGESTED TO
PLACE THE SAMPLES OF
PACKAGING IN THE
LOBBY OF A
RESTAURANT AND
ACCOMPANIED IT BY
A POSTER
