Kate Parker
Packaging Programme Leader, Scion

Kate Parker is the Packaging Programme Leader at Scion where she is developing new packaging materials from sustainable materials. The programme she is leading is focused on improving corrugated box and moulded fibre product performance, particularly in the chilled supply chain; as well as packaging technologies which enable product traceability. Compliance with food contact regulations and end-of-life options for the packaging are also major considerations of the work. The overall objective of Scion’s packaging research is to maintain product safety and security in domestic and export markets.
