Household packaging
Welcome to the Cofresco Forum
Cofresco Frischhalteprodukte GmbH & Co. KG founded the Cofresco Forum in 2010 as the successor to the Cofresco Institute. Its aim is to drive the international exchange of knowledge between scientists and thus support research in the field of household packaging. The Cofresco Forum aims to utilize the lively and expert scientific networks which the Cofresco Institute established in the previous years. All publications and reports of the Institute will continue to be available via this website under the section 
Cofresco Institute.
Background information on the creation of the Cofresco Forum – and the company behind the project, Cofresco – can be found in the section Who we are. The latest developments in the field of food packaging are listed under News. The section also provides an overview of events organized by the Cofresco Forum and other institutes, as well as articles written by experts in the packaging and food industries. Presentations and studies on all aspects of household packaging can be accessed in the Download Center. Using the integrated search function, users can systematically research topics according to specific key words, such active packaging, packaging design or convenience.
