What interests you most in this industry?

The food packaging industry is an important sector in addressing the primary problem of sustainability and waste reduction. A large amount of paper used globally is for food packaging. Therefore, I found it extremely exciting to do research on food packaging because not only we can directly affect people's quality of life since people deal with different food packaging in their daily lives, but we can also have a significant impact to preserve our nature. I think that the enormous market for food packaging has the potential to improve or worsen our quality of life and the environment, therefore we must pay attention to it.
