Food Packaging & Sustainability: Emerging Contaminants webinar

Thu 7 October 2021, 4-5pm AEDT

With the recent ANZPAC Plastics Pact, Australian manufacturers are shifting from single-use plastics to more environmentally friendly alternatives.

The challenge is to ensure that sustainable packaging still keeps products safe, hygienic and fresh.

Any type of food packaging – recycled plastics, paper, cardboard, glass and metals – can contain potentially harmful contaminants that may migrate into food.

What are the contaminants to watch out for in your packaging materials?
