Interview of the month

"Using packaging deliberately protects valuable resources"

For quite a while a cereal bar was the centre of attention in a study, designed to investigate how food is influenced by packaging. This led to some important conclusions about what might potentially be perfect packaging. The study was masterminded by the food packaging engineer Alexander Witt.
