DuPont, Partners Present “The Virtuous Circle” Is it possible to reduce food waste, improve child- hood nutrition and promote the education around environmental sustainability all at the same time? A partnership of businesses and NGOs has been looking at this very question, and more, as part of the “The Virtuous Circle” initiative in South Africa. The key learnings from this circular economy project will be showcased during Interpack 2017 from May 4-10. The project, coordinated by DuPont in close collab- oration with Amcor, FUTURELIFE, EqualTrade4, Wild- lands, RWPA Solutions and Wastebuster among others, employs a three-pillar approach that address- es the challenge of the sustainability of multimaterial multilayer plastic packaging whilst simultaneously tackling the broader societal objectives around edu- cation and childhood nutrition. A roundtable discussion on the findings of the pro- ject and research outcomes will take place on May 8 at 4 pm in the Safe Food Pavilion at Interpack 2017.
