Online edition March 2024 | Packaging

The March issue of Vakblad Voedingsindustrie focuses on packaging.

What trends and developments will the food packaging industry face? Changes in legislation have a significant impact. What does the market demand, and how do you respond to it? What will be the biggest challenge for the coming years? We asked three experts.

Professor Dr. Ir. Maarten Schutyser and his research group are studying how food ingredients behave during drying and separation processes. His ambition: to make the food chain more sustainable. What can we expect from his research team in the coming years? Find out in the interview.

And in early 2024, the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation and the Dutch Circular Plastic Standard are nearing completion. While both are still heavily negotiated in terms of content, it's clear that both Europe and the Dutch government are taking decisive action in packaging usage. The impact on the food industry is tremendous. Read more about it in the article: 'Recycling in 2024: What does the new legislation entail?'
