A Deep-Dive into our work on the industry
The packaging industry has been driven by innovation, particularly in the areas of sustainability. There has been a growing trend towards sustainable packaging solutions, with companies increasingly seeking to reduce their environmental impact. This has led to the development of a range of sustainable solutions, such as biodegradable packaging, plant-based packaging materials (vegetable oil packaging and paperboard packaging), peelable packaging, and recycled materials.
Researchers are further working on active and intelligent packaging technologies to improve the functionality and safety of packaging. Active packaging can help extend the shelf life of products by incorporating materials that absorb moisture or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Intelligent packaging uses sensors and other technologies to provide information about the product’s condition, such as its temperature or freshness.
Overall, the packaging sector is evolving rapidly, with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and automation. These advancements are helping companies reduce their environmental impact, improve product safety, and increase efficiency.

Business Objective
The client wanted to explore fiber-based packaging (flexible and rigid) materials solution that can deliver high barrier properties (moisture, oxygen), high paper/fiber content (at least 75% by weight), meet various supply chain solutions (shelf stable, refrigerated, hot fill), and leverage coating/additives that do not impede recycling/circularity.
The main objective of the engagement was to monitor and track new developments in “Fiber Based Packaging Material Solutions”
