Nano-Enabled Packaging for Food & Beverages
Nano-enabled packaging is the next phase of evolution in the packaging industry. It enhances a product’s shelf life and reduces the risk of contamination. Nano-enabled packaging is formed using two basic components: nano-composites and nano-fillers. Nano-composite is a framework or base where nano-fillers such as metals, metal oxides, clays, and carbon nano-tubes can be used to fill in the gaps of the framework.
Various nano-fillers have different properties that enhance packaging materials to give them various functionality such as oxygen scavengers, ethylene scavengers, and antioxidants.
