This multidisciplinary chapter brings together and discusses the sustainability dimensions of food packaging: environmental, social and cultural, and economic. It puts forward the idea that sustainability of food packaging should be assessed against the different functions that a package has in the value chain. The chapter develops a framework for sustainability trade-offs by introducing the sustainability dimensions of food packaging vis-à-vis the functions of food packaging. This entails identifying imperatives for sustainability that cannot be compromised. The framework helps to identify the aspects that can eventually be traded in real-life sustainability decisions and provides a practical framework for different actors to assess the multitude of aspects of sustainability not only with regard to packaging, but also elsewhere.

This multidisciplinary chapter brings together and discusses the sustainability dimensions of food packaging: environmental, social and cultural, and economic. It puts forward the idea that sustainability of food packaging should be assessed against the different functions that a package has in the value chain. The chapter develops a framework for sustainability trade-offs by introducing the sustainability dimensions of food packaging vis-à-vis the functions of food packaging. This entails identifying imperatives for sustainability that cannot be compromised. The framework helps to identify the aspects that can eventually be traded in real-life sustainability decisions and provides a practical framework for different actors to assess the multitude of aspects of sustainability not only with regard to packaging, but also elsewhere.
