When studying food distribution, it is important to keep the packaging as sustainable as possible. Therefore, it was deemed necessary to research into recyclable materials and packaging solutions. By analysing the research, it can be seen that much of our packaging waste still goes straight to landfill, just because something is recyclable, does not mean the the public will put the waste in recycling bins. Therefore, it might be interesting to look at approaches which are easily degradable so that even if the fruit packaging goes to landfill, it will still not cause too much of a problem and will degrade quickly.
Another alternative route is to leave packaging completely and think of another way to advertise fruit to children via billboards, posters or an online campaign. This way, no extra waste product is being generated.
