Find out how to snack smart, not wasteful…
A new zero waste trend is on the horizon. It’s smart snacking. Smart snacking is choosing snacks that are healthy and that made sustainably and ethically.
According to confectionerynews.com com there is predicted to be a high demand in 2020 for nutritious foods that are easy to prepare, convenient, portable, yet still indulgent. This demand is reported to be most widespread among younger consumers, particularly the Gen-Z generation.
Meanwhile, companies are becoming more proactive in taking on a zero-waste approach to packaging and developing sustainable alternatives. In this way they’ll make upcycling the new recycling.
So expect to see more fruit and vegetable snack products with healthier ingredients in more sustainable packaging.
Ultimately, this will all tie into the continued development of more innovative plant based foods. We are already beginning to see this, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. As more consumers become interested in health, sustainability and ethics the lifestyle trend towards cleaner living will continue to steadily increase.
