50 The ways that we choose, create and use packaging can have a tremendous impact on the issues affecting the Earth’s resources, environments and communities. Here are just a few of the ways metal is answering the call to address several critical issues of our time: 17 https://stopwastingfoodmovement.org/food-waste/food-waste-facts/ 18 https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2018/07/18/what-environmental-problems-does-wasting-food- cause/?sh=5220fba02f7a 19 https://www.unep.org/regions/north-america/regional-initiatives/promoting-sustainable- lifestyles#:~:text=Globally%2C%20if%20food%20waste%20could,3.3%20billion%20tons%20of%20CO2. Food Waste Emphasizing current global concerns around unnecessary product loss and the accompanying drain on resources. SUSTAINABILITY ISSUE METAL PACKAGING SOLUTION Each year, roughly one-third of the food produced globally— approximately 1.3 billion metric tons—is lost or wasted. 17 Food waste ends up wasting a quarter of our water supply in the form of uneaten food. That’s equal to U.S. $172 billion in wasted water. 18 If food waste was considered a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases worldwide, after only China and the U.S. 19 Metal packaging serves as an unbeatable barrier to the intrusion of oxygen, light and bacteria, extending the shelf life of products and preventing premature spoilage. Optimized sizes, whether fit for family dinner recipes or for individual portions, help to reduce food waste by consumers. Time spent between harvesting, transporting and canning is generally less than three hours, preserving nutrient levels and decreasing product loss at processing.
