Groen licht voor biologische verpakking met sensor voor food

Four years ago the EU project NanoBarrier was launched with the aim of developing plant-based bioplastic packaging that not only extends the shelf life of foods, but also contains a sensor that notifies retailers and consumers of when the food inside is really no longer fit to eat. Now, the first demonstration packaging – made of PLA (polyactic acid) and bio-PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is ready to be presented.
The packaging is made of biopolymers to which nanoparticle components have been added. It is designed mainly to protect the contents from their surroundings and thus extend shelf life. This is achieved by means of improved oxygen barriers (Nieuwsbericht SINTEF, 2 mei 2016).
