Stakeholder’s Advisory Platform
Co-designing sustainable packaging for the Mediterranean food chain
We rely on a collaborative framework designed to facilitate regular dialogue and participatory research. It serves as a bridge between the project’s technical and scientific advancements and the real-world needs and constraints of end-users, such as consumers, smallholders, SMEs, and other actors in the Mediterranean food supply chain. By joining our Stakeholder Advisory Platform, you will be participating in:
Knowledge Exchange
A space for stakeholders to share their insights, expectations, and challenges related to food packaging, sustainability, and food waste reduction.
It encourages collaboration across the value chain, from researchers and policymakers to businesses and local communities.
Guiding Innovation
Helps ensure the packaging solutions being developed are practical, acceptable, and aligned with end-user needs.
Fosters the creation of materials and designs tailored to Mediterranean cultural and logistical specificities.
Boosting Adoption
Builds trust and interest among stakeholders, improving the perception and acceptance of new biodegradable and active packaging solutions.
Addresses societal requirements like environmental sustainability and economic feasibility, increasing the likelihood of widespread adoption.
Stakeholders are engaged early in the INTACTBioPack project to help shape its goals and solutions. Regular consultations ensure innovations are practical, effective, and market-ready. Additionally, the project shares findings across the value chain, bridging research and market adoption for sustainable packaging.
