Campden BRI is taking part in an EU-funded packaging project to extend shelf-life.
The ISA-Pack project aims to develop a novel packaging material with integrated active and intelligent systems for extending the shelf life of a variety of products, including fresh produce. To demonstrate applicability to real food situations, the material and technology will be tested within industrial packaging production processes for modified atmosphere.
The ultimate aim is to reduce retailer supply chain wastage of fresh food produce by 75 per cent.
The ISA-Pack project brings together research and development effort from five countries. European companies and research organisations will collaborate over a three-year period to create innovative sustainable materials, accurate and reliable indicator systems and cost benefits to both supply chain and consumer.
