New Circular Challenges in the Development of Take-Away Food Packaging in the COVID-19 Period

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has set new challenges for the HoReCa industry. Lockdowns have coincided with and strongly impacted the industrial transformation processes that have been taking place for a decade. Among the most important HoReCa transition processes are those related to the rapid growth of the delivery-food market and ordering meals via internet platforms. The new delivery-food market requires not only the development of specific distribution channels, but also the introduction of appropriate, very spec… Show more

“…In other words, the future of the SEA should be sought in the application of semi-quantitative methods of multicriteria evaluation. When it comes to public participation in the SEA process, attention should be paid to challenges arising in specific circumstances, such as those present during the period and conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic [41].…”

“…This aim would be realized by promoting eco-friendly and bio-based packaging materials with improved shelf life and safety. It is estimated that by 2026, the global market share of bio-based packaging material will increase up to 50% (Kochańska et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Furthermore, the pandemic also resulted in greater food delivery (Chen et al, 2021 ; Filimonau, 2020 ; Li et al, 2020 ), which increased the generation of plastic waste through packaging (Liu et al, 2021 ). This growth in food delivery and online meal ordering underlined the need to rethink traditional modes of production, processing, and distribution, to achieve more sustainable packaging based on principles of circularity (Kochanska et al, 2021 ). In parallel with the changes in consumer behaviour, traditional modes of production were subject to shocks, due to the lockdown measures and the associated economic crisis (Aldaco et al, 2020 ; Nicola et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Scholars have proposed that the pandemic may act as a new divide and a trigger for the adoption of more sustainable practices, thereby contributing to the creation of a more resilient food system (Amicarelli & Bux, 2020 ; Borsellino et al, 2020 ). Indeed, crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic may enhance innovation and resilience throughout the entire food supply chain, including agricultural (Heck et al, 2020 ) and industrial processes (Kochanska et al, 2021 ).…”
