Packaging solutions with improved barrier properties
A compartmentalised tray for fresh oily fish will be designed with the objective to eliminate the need for using a non-recyclable absorbent pad for retaining the fish exudate.
The aim is to develop an innovative, intelligent, and sustainable packaging solution made from renewable and compostable materials, but with improved barrier properties.
Freshness label to visualise shelf life
Moreover, a colorimetric freshness label and a reading application will be integrated to determine more accurately the shelf life, as well as extend the current expiry date when the product is still safe to consume.
The goal of this label is to transform its visual indication (colour change) into remaining product shelf life to provide information to retailers about state of the product and to facilitate better stock management.
