Pointing out that as much as a third of the food currently produced goes to waste at a considerable economic and environmental cost, Charles Héaulmé, CEO of Finnish consumer packaging company Huhtamäki highlighted the crucial role that packaging plays in minimising this loss.

At a press conference on Monday the 28th, Peña reported that the Uruguayan Chamber of Industry will present, this Thursday the 1st, its new Container Management Plan, which will provide an incentive for citizens to return the containers, allowing the recovery for later reuse. This action is part of the promotion, by the Government, of Law 19,829, which grants extended responsibility to the producer.

"In other words, the person responsible for the waste is the one who puts it on the market and, therefore, the person responsible for recovering it," he said.

Pallets are strategically thin yet sturdy and strong wooden structures that provide a base for loading goods onto transport vehicles as well as maintaining the stack integrity in transit.

During World War II (1939-1945), armies required a system for quickly transporting large quantities of weapons and supplies to troops on the front lines which led to the innovation of modern-day pallets.

A well-known chocolate brand is switching to paper packaging in a bid to avoid excess plastic waste.

Mars Wrigley bars such as Mars Bars and Snickers will begin the transition to paper wrapping in Australia in April, with all chocolate produced by the company to be recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.

It is expected to eliminate more than 360 tonnes of plastic from the nation's supply chain.

Research and development director Chris Hutton said using paper packaging was a world-first for the company after two years of research at its Ballarat site.
