Sustainability

This is what we care

Today’s food ecosystem faces serious challenges. More than 25 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions comes from food systems and one-third of food produced is wasted. For the world to achieve sustainability, immediate action on the right management of the food systems is urgently needed.

The United Nations has identified responsible consumption as one of the Sustainability Development Goals (SDG).

Under SDG Goal 12, the United Nations aims to halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses, by 2030.

As the leading longevity packaging manufacturer, Eka Global believes we can contribute to this global mission. Our longevity packaging can help by protecting food for longer, preventing food waste and improving food safety.
