On-line panel event and Q&A.
Most of our food comes packed in plastic. But should it? Plastic keeps food fresh but can cause environmental problems. Are more sustainable manufacturing and recycling processes possible?
Are there alternatives to plastic? What are the health risks associated with the use of plastic to wrap food? Is plastic essential to reducing food waste?
Our expert panel will discuss the issues and answer your questions.
This event is organised with Energy Transitions @Cambridge.
