MONDI has released a new white paper exploring how fit-for-purpose packaging can help food producers and retailers protect product quality and reduce waste across supply chains.
The paper – ‘Turning Packaging into a Competitive Advantage in the Food Supply Chain’ – supports food producers, retailers and logistics partners by providing insights that help strengthen the business case for viewing corrugated packaging as a strategic tool for waste reduction and supply chain resilience.
Research shows that 70% of consumers will not purchase visibly damaged products – a challenge that places even greater pressure on producers and retailers to maintain perfect on-shelf presentation.
With one third of global food production wasted annually, Mondi said that even small improvements can help food businesses navigate tight margins, rising expectations and ongoing operational pressures. The white paper outlines how well-designed corrugated solutions improve stability, withstand stacking pressure, accelerate packing processes, and maintain product integrity during long and complex distribution routes.
Paulus Goëss, COO corrugated solutions at Mondi, said, “Packaging plays a vital role in preventing food waste. When designed strategically, it helps protect product value, support reliable operations and reduce the hidden costs that often accumulate under challenging supply chain conditions.”
