Identify and implement cost savings, sustainability, and continuous improvement opportunities, including material optimization, waste reduction, recyclability, pallet utilization, and transportation efficiency.
Ensure packaging materials, designs, trials, and processes comply with applicable regulatory, food safety, customer, company, and GMP requirements.
