In the last years, consumers and producers have become
more sensitive towards the sustainability of food productions,
with special regards for the role of packaging. Estimates of the
impact of packaging are in the range of 5–10% of the total

sometimes necessary to increase the packaging environmental
impact in order to reduce food losses (Wikstro¨m & Wilsson,
2010), however this is not always true and new packaging
solutions at lower environmental impact can be able to
guarantee certain shelf life standards
