“Sustainability has become a cornerstone of the Sweden–India partnership. Our countries’ shared goal of enabling and expediting a green transition is a common thread in our bilateral exchanges, joint partnerships, and business opportunities. For long-term sustainability to succeed, government, academia and industry must all contribute,” Ambassador of Sweden to India Klas Molin said at the launch event.

Green Seal is introducing a Sustainable Packaging Advisory Group to reward producers that reduce packaging waste, increase the use of recycled content in packaging, and verify the recyclability of packaging materials.

Key points:

• Antibacterial texturing kills bacteria, extending food’s shelf life.
• Comes amid huge demand to improve the lifespan of food products, particularly for export.
• Texture can be scaled up for mass production.

The lab-made nanotexture from an Australian-Japanese team of scientists kills up to 70% of bacteria and retains its effectiveness when transferred to plastic.

More than 30% of food produced for human consumption becomes waste, with entire shipments rejected if bacterial growth is detected.
