| Summary |
"We've come a long way from the days when the milkie poured milk into jugs kept at home, and the grocer hand-packed biscuits into plain paper bags. Today food is packaged in a wide range of designs and materials that can be squeezed, shaken, poured, baked and micro waved. This program explores some of the latest innovations in food packaging, and examines the factors driving these changes. We learn about packaging that extends a food's shelf life without relying on artificial preservatives, containers that can be easily opened, and mechanisms designed to protect certain foods from deliberate tampering. We highlight how some consumer pressure against over-packaging and in favour of recyclable materials has affected the packaging industry. We also see examples of how creative packaging designs can make a product stand out on supermarket shelves." -- ABC schools TV website |
