The common scientific and technological objective of this network is to promote and optimise recyclable packaging for a range of food products to conform to current food packaging legislation. This will be done using existing and/or new materials. There exists a very wide range of food products, which must be stored and prepared in different conditions. While the network proposes to identify solutions for most of these, it is necessary to be realistic and set specific targets to be achieved within the network. The primary target will be recyclable packaging for the replacement of plastic food packaging trays, films and cartons currently used for eg frozen goods, refrigerated goods, microwave products, ready oven-cook foods, fast-food products, perishable products (raw meat, cooked meat, fish, dairy, vegetables and fruit etc.).
