Fresh produce degrades much more rapidly as temperatures rise. Cost and complexity of existing data loggers limit their use to pallet or container level. Low-cost liquid indicators can provide temperature / time monitoring down to the smallest packs, ensuring product quality is maintained throughout the lengthiest supply chains.
Moving from a linear to a circular packaging industry can preserve the natural environment and mitigate the effect on ecology – while allowing consumers to still benefit from the advantages of packaging
With the increasing acceptance of digital printing in the various application areas of packaging printing, the range of requirements for digital ink systems has expanded. The migration behaviour of ink systems is moving into the focus of the decision-making process of labels- and packaging printers and plays a decisive role in the selection of a digital printing press.

The plastics ecosystem is firmly on a transition in which the incumbent make, use and dispose model for plastics is moving to one where companies design out waste, keep resources in use as long as possible, extract the maximum value while in use, then recover and regenerate valuable products and materials at the end of life.
The report shows how flexible packaging offers the ‘perfect fit’ solution to sustainability challenges today. It provides a simple and adaptable answer to portioning, preservation and demands for convenience.
The “Comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of different Pouches and alternative packaging systems for food (Pasta Sauce and Olives) on the European market” conducted by ifeu Heidelberg investigates the environmental performance of multi-material flexible pouch systems used for Pasta Sauce and Olives and compares it with those of alternative packaging systems i.e. glass jars and steel cans.
Malaysia plans to address single-use plastics by encouraging the plastic industry to transition to eco-friendly products. This will ensure the industry thrives by adapting green technologies while the environment is safeguarded. As such, this Roadmap is prepared to be used as a guide towards zero single-use plastics in Malaysia in a holistic manner.
Paper International Technology Association) has published a new whitepaper by Aquapak Polymers that explores how recyclability can be designed into fibre-based packaging using commercially available, fully soluble bio-digestible barrier materials.
EPS is the packaging material of choice for landed fish. Its excellent insulation properties keep fish fresh and avoidfood waste. Unlike some cellulose-based materials, EPS supports hygiene, because it resists humidity, preventing thespread of bacteria, mould and fungi, thus keeping the food safe.
