🥦 Food needs a container, sure. But does it need that much #packaging?
You’ll see layers of plastic and paper promising freshness. Yet many foods could do just fine without them.
Our latest article explores when packaging truly protects, and when it’s just convenience.

🍅 Food is more than a product — it’s a right.
This year’s call to action for #WorldFoodDay: build #FoodSystems that are #sustainable, inclusive, and resilient.
At #MAGNO, we believe that better food starts with better systems: from how it’s produced to how it’s packaged ♻️
♻️ Great opportunity for cities and regions!
Our project partner, the #CCRI Knowledge Hub has opened the final call for its Mentoring Programme.

♻️ We all know how to recycle — or so we think.
But behind every bin lies a system full of confusion, contradictions, and missed opportunities.
Our latest recap explores how #recycling works — and why clarity and better design are key to making it work for everyone.
🗑️ You move to a new city — and #recycling suddenly feels like a different language.
What was “#compostable” last month is now contamination.
Our new article breaks down why — and how to make sense of it.
#WasteSystem #FoodPackaging #CircularEconomy
♻️ #Recycling is broken.
It’s messy and confusing. One item in the wrong bin can ruin the whole batch, and the system isn’t designed to fix it.
Our latest article breaks down the everyday mistakes that keep recycling from working — and how we can do better.

#FoodPackaging is not (always) your enemy. 👀
That cucumber wrapped in plastic?
👉 If it’s travelled far, it slows ripening & prevents #FoodWaste.
👉 If it’s local, the wrap is pointless — and yes, a bit mad.
🌱 The real trick: learn to differentiate it
⏳ Last chance!
The #MAGNO #IndustrySurvey on #plastic food contact packaging waste is closing soon.
We’re gathering insights from #converters, #recyclers & #wastemanagement to see what works, where gaps remain, and how innovation spreads across #Europe.

In Back to the Future II, 2015 had flying cars 🚀
10 years later, our “future” #cities still feel like the past: traffic jams, poor #PublicTransport, unsafe cycling.
This #EuropeanMobilityWeek is a reminder: the future of #mobility = greener streets, better transit, fairer cities.
