FitNESS Food Packaging Courseware

Food packaging is often necessary or even essential for protecting food and keeping it safe. It can help to enable the preservation, transportation, distribution, and preparation of food. However, food packaging today is strongly associated with both environmental and chemical pollution including increasing global concern about the impacts it is having on health. To help packaging professionals address this challenge, the FitNESS platform was created to provide both general and in-depth training courses on the design of responsible packaging. This includes learning to optimize several sometimes contradictory criteria across all aspects of food packaging from its production and use through to its reuse, recycling, and disposal. FitNESS 2.0 is coordinated by ACTIA, the French Network of Food Technology Institutes and is funded by ERASMUS+ as a Cooperation Partnership – 2021-1-FR01-KA220-HED-000023509.
