Objective The balance is fine between encouraging packaging development and innovation, responding to environmental considerations that benefit consumers , and regulatory control ensuring their protection. Understanding chemical-chemical processes in food packaging systems is crucial both as a way to drive forward innovation. and as a means to ensure regulatory controls based on sound science. Following success of the first symposium on the subject (Budapest, September 1996), a follow-up related subjects : food packaging innovations; physical transport processes in packaging; sensory impact of packaging materials; safety/quality aspects of recycling/re-use; new analytical approaches/test procedures; plastics, paper, board, other materials; risk assessment of packaging materials; environmental impact and development of environment-friendly materials; irradiation.
