On June 1, 2022, the Understanding Packaging (UP) Scorecard hosted a webinar featuring a deep dive into why toxic chemicals in food packaging are a business risk and what can be done about it. The webinar features a presentation by Justin Boucher from the Food Packaging Forum as well as other industry experts from Sodexo, ChemFORWARD, Environmental Defense Fund, and Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council. The speakers present the evidence showing why chemicals of concern in foodware and food packaging are both a consumer health and business risk, and they provide three steps companies can take to put safer food packaging on store shelves. The speakers also introduced a range of new resources to help companies establish effective chemical strategies, including the Food Packaging Forum’s FCCmigex Database.
Details and links to access all of the free resources presented are available on the UP Scorecard’s blog.
