How are consumers able to reduce packaging and food waste and further environmental sustainability, and how can CPG companies—especially those in the dairy case—provide solutions for them? A pair of recent reports provides clues.
“Food Packaging Trends US 2016” from Mintel, a market research firm, reveals that 80% of consumers see reducing food waste as equally important with reducing packaging waste, 52% prefer to buy foods with little or no packaging, 81% would choose resealable packaging over non-resealable, and 54% would pay more for resealable or portion-controlled packaging.
