Proposing Two-Phase Approach for Green Food Packaging by Fuzzy Analytic Network Process

In the recent years, increasing use of limited resources causes severe damages to the environment. This lead to increase environmental concerns in societies. Resource waste reduction can control these damages. As food waste causes a lot of resource waste, controlling this waste is very important to reduce damages to the environment.This paper considers the environmental importance of food packaging is in two ways: i) improper packaging can increase food waste and ii) the package itself may have improper environmental effect. A two-phase approach for green food packaging by Fuzzy Analytic Network Process is proposed. This approach in the first phase guarantees establishing minimum required packaging conditions and in the second phase, proposes the best food package design due to environmental concerns.
