White Paper – Uses and Applications of Radiation Processing

The iia has published a new White Paper to highlight the benefits, importance and value of radiation processing globally.  ‘Uses and Applications of Radiation Processing’ is a high level non-technical document aimed at people and organisations that are not familiar with radiation processing.

The White Paper summarises all the significant uses of radiation processing and the global economic, social and environmental benefits that arise from the technologies.  This is followed by regional summaries that highlight how irradiation is applied around the world to bring a positive impact on the wellbeing of the population and the economies of each region.
