This commercialisation project was to develop new food packaging systems for meat & similar foods where shelf life is a critical issue. By use of antimicrobial packaging, food waste can be reduced.

This commercialisation project was to develop new food packaging systems for meat & similar foods where shelf life is a critical issue. By use of antimicrobial packaging, food waste can be reduced. However, the main challenge is developing these technologies cost effectively. We have developed a suitable polymer-based solution & this project is based on scaling the laboratory processes so that they can be delivered to a manufacturable solution within cost limitations.
