<strong>Packaging</strong>s are constantly being further developed. This<br />
means that foodstuffs have longer shelf lives. New materials<br />
have improved resealing. Special multi-layered films allow<br />
CO to escape, while preventing oxygen from penetrat-<br />

ing. The packaging thus slows down the maturation<br />
process, e.g. of cheese, so that it keeps for longer.<br />
And, for these special properties, plastic packagings<br />
need less and less energy in production -<br />
as the example of the total energy used in cheese<br />
shows.<br />
