By 2030, all food packaging will have to be circular, and the rapid evolution of digitalisation and personalisation will have a clear impact as well. Pack4Food and the spearhead clusters Flanders' FOOD (food), VIL (logistics), SIM (innovative materials) and Catalisti (chemistry and plastics) have been working on a roadmap for food packaging for the future since September 2018. Focusing on the needs of the future, this roadmap should set out the research lines for the following years (2018-2030) in order to develop advanced packaging together with industry, government and knowledge institutions.

To shape this roadmap, we want to map the specific needs, barriers & challenges of companies through interactive brainstorming sessions to identify cross-sectoral opportunities.
