Worldwide Food Waste Hits 1.3B Tons

Food Online was broadcasting live at Process Expo 2015 in Chicago, recording podcasts with key attendees at the show. Todd Schnick, host of Food Online Voices, spoke with influential industry leaders about hot topics in food and beverage manufacturing. These podcasts address the latest in technology and processes as described by individuals who are driving developments in food safety, processing, and packaging.

Bernd Jablonowski, director of Interpack and a partner with Process Expo, describes the Save Food campaign, sponsored by two United Nations organizations and Interpack trade fair organizer Messe Dusseldorf. After four years, the campaign has 450 members and is the world’s leading food initiative. Nearly 1.3 billion tons of food is being wasted worldwide each year, and improved packaging can play a major role in reducing this waste, especially in developing countries.
