Sustainable Packaging Development for Fresh Food Supply Chains

---

The fresh food industry is increasingly more interested in developing efficient and innovative solutions to
guarantee quality and distribution sustainability; one of the main factors that influences such crucial aspects
is packaging. This paper aims to perform a critical analysis of two existing packaging solutions, i.e. corrugated
fibreboard boxes and re-usable plastic containers, from both the economic and the environmental
perspective, to highlight the main weaknesses. It then proposes two alternative packaging solutions. The
analysis features different economic assessments and models with different environmental impacts, taking
into account the characteristics of packaging solutions predominantly within two supply chain types: the
traditional food supply chain and the short food supply chain. The economic and environmental models
are applied to understand the limitations of existing packaging solutions, to develop two alternative solutions
and finally to perform an overall analysis of all fresh food containers, allowing the definition of the most
suitable container for each of the proposed supply chain scenarios, from both an economic and environmental
perspective. The innovative aspect of the research lies in the simultaneous evaluation of economic and
environmental factors and the introduction of two new packaging solutions, making it of interest to
researchers and fresh food industry professionals alike. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
