Our current economic model is dominated by a linear approach to consumption and production, where materials are grown or extracted, then made into goods which are used and then disposed of. This session will explore alternatives to this model, based on key sustainability initiatives driving organizations large and small, within the food and food packaging sectors and beyond.
