Eco-design of food products and packaging

Published on : 23/01/2025

By Pauline AUDOYE - January 2025

Introduction

In the face of growing environmental challenges and new consumer expectations, eco-design of food products and their packaging is emerging as an essential approach to reducing environmental impact while maintaining high standards of quality and functionality. This process goes far beyond simply reducing materials; it involves rethinking the product's entire life cycle, from production to end-of-life, by integrating environmental criteria at every stage of design. Thanks to tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), eco-design makes it possible to precisely measure environmental impacts and identify optimized solutions. This article explores the foundations of this approach, concrete examples of applied eco-design, and how companies can benefit from this approach to meet today's environmental challenges.
