📍 This week we’re in Vimercate (Milan) for the @magno-euproject.bsky.social Consortium Meeting.
At Kveloce, we lead different tasks on consumer acceptance (WP6) and on communication, dissemination and exploitation (WP7), contributing to more sustainable #foodpackaging systems.

📍 We’re in Vimercate (Milan) for the 4th #MAGNO consortium meeting, hosted by DNV.
A valuable moment to step back, reflect on the work of the past months, and align on what’s coming next.
These in-person exchanges help turn ideas into coordinated action to change the future of #foodpackaging.
#InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience 👩🔬
Science is stronger when women and girls are fully part of it. Inclusive research leads to better knowledge, better decisions and more #sustainable solutions.
At #MAGNO, diversity in science is not optional, it is essential.
🎞️ There’s no shortage of content about #plasticpollution.
The hard part is knowing where to begin.
Our latest article explores how curated websites, books and #documentaries can help #consumers navigate complexity without feeling overwhelmed. 📚
Surrounded by “#eco” labels, it’s hard to know who’s really walking the talk.
⭐ This article explores what #responsible #business looks like today and how consumer support can help make #sustainable practices the norm, not the exception.
👉 Read it on our website.
#Packaging isn’t everywhere by accident. It’s cheap, convenient, and pushed onto #consumers while the costs are socialised.
⭐This article explores how consumers can go beyond “better choices” and start #influencing brands and policies that shape packaging systems in Europe
We are not uninformed. We are saturated. 📲
#Environmental #storytelling matters because it turns abstract problems into lived experiences people recognise and care about.
Our latest article looks at how stories can #empower communities instead of overwhelming them. 🫂
“#Biodegradable” doesn’t always mean harmless. 🤔
Many so-called #eco #plastics need industrial conditions to break down and can still pollute when systems fail.
Our latest article looks beyond the label and asks what really needs to change.
Glass. Metal. Paper. Plastic.
No #packaging material wins by default.
This article breaks down the real pros and cons of each option across their full life cycle, from production to end-of-life. ♻️
Less hype, more context.
✨ The surprise is out.
MAGNO is featured in a new episode of the Plastic.Climate.Future podcast, joining the conversation on #plastics, #climate and the future of #foodpackaging.

🗣️ Tomorrow we gather to take a closer look at one of the most pressing challenges facing our food systems.
On 22 January 2026, MAGNO hosts a workshop at INSTM (Salammbô) dedicated to understanding the ecosystem impacts of #plasticpackaging waste, from #humanhealth to marine environments.
🍶 Plastic packaging waste is more than an environmental problem. It affects #humanhealth, marine ecosystems and how food systems are governed.
On 22 Jan 2026, MAGNO will host a workshop at #INSTM (Salammbô) focused on assessing the ecosystem impacts of #plasticpackaging waste in the Mediterranean.
🚨 On 22 January 2026, MAGNO will host a #workshop on #PlasticPackagingWaste Ecosystem Impact Assessment at #INSTM (Salammbô).
Experts will discuss impacts on marine environments and #humanhealth, followed by moderated group discussions and recommendations. 🗣️

We really hope no one sees this post.
Hopefully you are enjoying a few days offline, with good company and a proper break.
Wishing the MAGNO community a happy new year.
See you after the holidays. ✨🎄
Wishing our #MAGNO community a happy holiday season.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, collaborated and followed our work this year.
Looking forward to new ideas and continued collaboration in the year ahead. 🎄✨
🎅 The holiday season brings celebration, but also a surge in #waste ❌
Extra food, single use #packaging and short lived products add up fast.
Small, mindful choices during these high consumption moments can make a real difference ⭐
