FINDINGS-REPORT:
During the stay in Bielefeld, the students were working on the different aspects of the selected topic from different perspectives. At the school, they shared the results of previous tasks proposed, showed and compared the results and presented their activities. They did an analysis of the product packaging, wrapping, an approach to the chemical composition and labelling.
At the end of the working week, they all put in common what they have learnt in the programmed visits to Gundlach Group factory (food packaging), Unverpackt-Laden supermarket, Dr Oetker (food processing company). A further approach was also done about the choice of the most sustainable packaging, some ideas about package replacement.
Most of the activities were focused on the need to change habits for sustainability in the food market. Therefore, case studies were set for the introduction of healthy habits, the analysis of symbols and logos on the packages and some findings and proposals were made to change our point of view as responsible consumers and habits referred to the problem of food waste raising awareness of the problems and suggested solutions.
