Jane Muncke from the Food Packaging Forum talks about plastics, chemicals of concern, and food packaging at the Chemicals of Concern Policy Summit hosted by the Alternatives to Plastics Leadership Network in Charlotte, North Carolina, US. To conclude her presentation, Jane presents different approaches to take for a safer future. This includes combining sustainability and safety, integrating all knowledge when selecting packaging options by using tools like the UP Scorecard that holistically score foodware items, and developing modern testing procedures to test materials and chemicals not just for genotoxicity, but for other health impacts as well.
