The Future of Food Packaging – Navigating New Demands
Food packaging must serve multiple functions, and with evolving regulations, producers are now faced with the challenge of balancing food safety, sustainability, and market demands.
The future is circular, but how can we ensure that harmful substances, or those that affect taste and smell, are not recirculated? What risk mitigations can we do? How can we ensure the microbiological safety with the use of bio-based or recycled materials? How can we replace plastics in the packaging without reducing the functions? After having created a new product, how do consumers truly behave at the point of purchase, and how can we accurately measure their actions, not just their intentions?
RISE has extensive expertise in both food and packaging, and during this webinar we will go through the research front in these important topics:
- Transitioning from plastic to paper-based packaging
- Key regulations, including environment (PPWR) and food contact materials (FCM)
- Detection of off-odours and aroma compounds in food packaging
- Behaviour tracing with eye-tracking technology at the point of purchase
- Hygiene and microbiology considerations
Join us for an insightful webinar where we’ll discuss issues and risk mitigation techniques.
