The most important role of packaging is to protect the product so that it can be consumed as intended. A package that fails to do this should be questioned.
Today a packaging should also fulfil demands of circularity, climate, resource efficiency and littering. Some of these demands are sometimes contradictory. For food packaging, all this must also be made without risking safety.
So, what does tomorrow's resource efficient sustainable packaging looks like? 
For dairy products, packaging is usually a very small part of the total environmental impact from product and packaging. Risking hygiene and safety through poor packaging can lead to significant waste of resources -both in products and packaging. During the presentation, trends, facts, and dilemmas will be presented to discuss what sustainable dairy packaging means in the future.
