🌍 Today is #WorldHealthDay — a perfect reminder that protecting human health also means rethinking the materials we use every day. 🥤 One invisible threat growing in our everyday lives comes from #microplastics released by #FoodPackaging. These substances can leach into what we eat and drink, slowly making their way into our bodies. 🧪 Many materials used in #packaging are persistent in the #environment and can stay in our systems and ecosystems for years. 💡 At Magno EU Project, we're committed to driving innovation in the food packaging industry. Through research, policy work, and circular solutions, we aim to reduce the health risks associated with food packaging #pollution — because a healthier environment starts with smarter design and #sustainable choices.
Magno EU Project
Packaging and Containers Manufacturing
Transforming EU food systems with innovative strategies for sustainable packaging
About us
As Europe shifts to a bio-based circular economy, a plethora of new packaging restrictions have emerged. MAGNO seeks to improve packaging effectiveness, sustainability, efficient usage, end-of-life (reuse and recycling), and innovative business practices in EU food systems through revolutionary strategies shaped for the ecological transition required by the European Green Deal and EU 2030 climate target plan. These strategies will strengthen the EU food and packaging policy frameworks at a local and regional level. They will also increase social innovation, consumer participation and acceptance of new packaging designs and production models in cross-border food value chains through a web platform and a series of citizen science tools. At the beginning of the project, an overview of Europe’s ecosystems and value chains for different kinds of plastic packaging will be studied. A detailed quantification of impacts and solutions in terms of health, environment, raw materials, and sustainability will then be developed to set the basis of an Ecosystem Digital Twin software. The Digital Twin will be programmed to support the analysis of different scenarios which contributes by not only providing ground-breaking strategies for improving the packaging sector but also identifying the best options in terms of innovative business. The whole project will be supported by the active participation of food multi-actors (researchers, food business operators, food packaging producers, developers of sustainable packaging, packaging converters and recyclers, consumers, and local and regional authorities). Their contribution to the creation of results and validation of the final strategies will prevent and reduce plastic packaging pollution for the food and packaging sectors.

⚠️European #farmlands receive up to 10 times more #microplastics per hectare than the oceans. ❓Did you know that? Primarily due to plastic-containing #compost, #fertilizers, and irrigation water polluted by #waste. 🌱 #FoodPackaging #pollution doesn’t just harm our oceans—it’s degrading our soils too. From #landfills overflowing with plastic waste to #microplastics contaminating farmlands, our latest review explores the hidden impact of food packaging waste on #soil health and #biodiversity 🐄🌽 ❌ Plastics, aluminum, and toxic additives are seeping into agricultural lands, threatening food production and ecosystems. With major rivers acting as pathways for waste, even remote farmlands aren’t safe from pollution. ♻️ We need stronger policies, better waste management, and sustainable packaging alternatives to protect our land and ensure a healthier future for all. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eSg8gUeD
