“This free seminar series has been designed by industry leaders for Australian businesses who rely upon effective cold chain process and solutions to reduce cost and food waste within their business operations. There is a mounting background of community pressure about the costs and environmental damage of food wastage. You can be an important part of the solution through innovation, compliance, waste reduction and safety within your business.” - Mark Mitchell, AFCCC Chairman

"We need to contemplate how to reduce food wastage through the packaging industry. Packaging alone cannot fix this problem. However, when we consider all elements – design, material, innovative products, technological advancements, responsible, sustainable, reusable, environmentally-friendly packaging – we can explore the opportunities for the packaging industry in the value chain that could get more food to more people around the globe.” – Prof Pierre Pienaar, Education Director, Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP)
