Chris Powell, managing director of MPE UK Ltd, a tray and sandwich sealing equipment manufacturer, said: "The food sector has been changing and evolving to find solutions that allow food waste to be reduced whilst ensuring packaging is both sustainable and recyclable. These are the two main considerations along with cost and production for packaging considerations. "Sustainable production is essential to ensure the longevity of brand production at a fair cost to the customer and a fair cost to our planet. The benefits are great - if all food sources are sustainable then we can reliably deliver key brands moving forwards. Highly recyclable or compostable longer-life packaging will continue to support sustainability. This will ensure that the balance of a satisfied customer base and the secured, cost-effective manufacture and sustainable packaging processes continue to support the well-being of our planet's resources."
