Conflicting goals & priorities and different functional requirements for different products make identifying a sustainable solution and communicating it to customers and stakeholders challenging.  #earthday #sustainability #sustainablepackaging

🍽️𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗨𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲—𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿! 💡Did you know that in the Netherlands alone, 2 billion kilos of food are wasted annually? But what if we could transform the Dutch food system to provide for everyone while minimising food waste? This vision is needed, but how can we turn it into reality? 📢 At yesterday's #FETE symposium, chaired by Sanne Stroosnijder from Stichting Samen Tegen Voedselverspilling, we explored the latest insights into possible first steps toward this future. From my own research, I presented the latest research on how we can support households in adopting waste-free and flexible practices in their daily life through new innovations. ➡️ In my research at TU Delft | Industrial Design Engineering, we've developed a #portfolio of innovative solutions addressing food waste in the Netherlands—and now we need your help to take our research to the next level! ➡️ We’re looking for individuals passionate about the food system to participate in an online study evaluating 7 innovative solutions to reduce food waste. Get inspired by our innovations and share your thoughts! ➡️ The commitment is simple: a brief 20-minute survey where you’ll assess new food waste solutions and share your valuable insights.   Interested in joining?
