ORLANDO, Fla., Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - Sealed Air
Corporation showcased last week the combined value it brings
with its Diversey® and Cryovac® portfolio to food safety and

Through the combination of leading experts in food science,
packaging and microbiology, Sealed Air demonstrated
strategies for protecting and enhancing the entire food and
beverage supply chain - from farm to fork - by collaborating
to reduce contamination, extend the shelf life of food and
elevate the food and beverage experience for the consumer.
"As the global demand for food increases, we urgently
need to tackle the three most pressing issues facing our food
supply - food safety, food waste and food access," said
Bill Hickey, CEO of Sealed Air. "Nearly every step in
the food production and consumption chain affords the
opportunity for business involvement and contribution and we
have committed our company to a path of innovation to help
the world increase access to food, keep it fresh and make it
safe and secure for all people."
For decades, Sealed Air's Cryovac® and Diversey® brand
products have helped improve food safety and combat food
waste with technologies and packaging solutions that extend
shelf life, provide perfect portions and deliver ultimate
product protection.

Innovative Technologies to Implement a Safe and Sustainable
Future Supply Chain." The program highlighted
processing, packaging and information technologies that can
reduce cost, increase transparency and help an organization
remain competitive. Ron Cotterman, Sealed Air's Executive
of Director of Sustainability, presented examples of how
packaging brings value by improving operations, preventing
waste and reducing risk.
