The Food Packaging Forum’s Scientific Advisory Board consists of renowned academic scientists from all over the world with expertise ranging from analytical chemistry over ecotoxicology to epidemiology, science communication and science policy. Members of the Scientific Advisory Board support the FPF in their personal capacity as professionals. They do not represent their home institutions and receive no financial compensations. Affiliations are merely given for informational purposes.

Scientific Advisory Board AMA events

An AMA (Ask Me Anything) is an online event where a person or group, often notable figures or experts in a specific field, answer questions from the community on a wide range of topics, providing a unique opportunity for direct and interactive communication. FPF organized AMAs to provide the chance for anyone to ask questions of a room full of scientists dedicated to the study of human health, green chemistry, plastic and chemical pollution, microplastics, endocrine disruption, and more.
