ENGLISH
By 2050, the world's population will increase to more than 9 billion1 which may cause the world to face a problem of scarcity of resources used food production. Meanwhile, around 30 percent of food is wasted around the world today, accounting for 1,300 million tons per year2. These food wastes cause about 8 percent of total GHG emissions. It is not only food waste that affects the environment. Food packaging is also a major contributor to marine pollution problems. About 10 percent of plastic waste found in the ocean is food packaging causing plastic contamination in the human food chain3. Moreover, the COVID-19 situation has led to an increase in plastic packaging waste from home delivery for food and other products. To jointly solve such problems, as well as creating food security and environmental balance, CPF has integrated the circular economy concept throughout the Company's value chain.
