The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) will be participating in the second National Food Waste Summit in Brisbane on 23–24 November 2022.

Hosted by Fight Food Waste, incorporating Fight Food Waste CRC and Stop Food Waste Australia, attendees will be able to network with industry, government and research experts to help inspire food waste solutions that can deliver economic, social and environmental benefits for all Australians.

The AIP will be speaking on a panel on 24 November titled ‘Reduce to nil: designing out food waste panel’.

The panel discussion will explore zero waste technologies, innovations and initiatives disrupting Australia’s food business as usual. Panellists will include Associate Professor Simon Lockrey, REDUCE Program Lead, Fight Food Waste CRC (Facilitator); Nerida Kelton, Executive Director, Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP); Katy Barfield, CEO, Yume; Travis Hatton, Manager Business Solutions, Sustainability Victoria; and Brooke Donnelly, GM Sustainability, Coles Group.

The AIP are a founding partner of Stop Food Waste Australia, a core participant of the Fight Food Waste CRC and a supporting signatory to the Australian Food Pact. They believe that packaging plays an integral role in minimising food loss and waste across a value chain.

AIP Save Food Packaging consortium partner Result Group and Empauer, a longstanding partner of the Institute, will also be participating the summit.
