Project description
New solutions to reduce food waste
In the EU, around 89 million tonnes of food waste are generated annually; an estimated 20 % of the total food produced is lost or wasted. The EU is committed to reversing this trend, which has a huge environmental impact. In this context, the EU-funded SISTERS project will design the first European short-chain platform for farmers to sell their discarded production. Smart and reusable food containers will be designed to diminish food losses during transportation, and bio-based and home-compostable packaging solutions will be implemented to improve the preservation and quality of food. Bringing together 18 partners from eight EU countries, the project will address the issue of food waste and its impacts, and lead towards more sustainable consumer behaviours.
