Antimicrobials Grant Superpowers to Food Packaging 

Packaging that releases antimicrobials into foods can boost shelf life, reduce waste, and combat villainous mold and nasty pathogens. Learn more in my latest article.

FOOD PACKAGING
Let's biodegrade all packaging waste so it just "disappears"! 
Nope, that is the wrong answer to our litter and marine debris! 
This explains why>

--------------- UPCOMING INDUSTRY EVENTS --------------

May 27, 2021 - Ripe for Redesign: Better Packaging to Reduce Food Waste 

The SPC Food Waste Repackaged Learning Series Virtual Event is a Sustainable Packaging Coalition project that will run throughout 2021. The program will boast Learning Series webinars, an Innovation Challenge, a Mentorship Program, and a Showcase event. I'll be speaking about how everyday packaging be better designed to reduce food waste in retail settings and consumers' homes. We will reveal opportunities to align packaging design with how consumers use products, add useful features, and provide information to help prevent food waste.

July 1, 2021, 8:00 am - The Future of Next Generation Active Packaging

Active packaging employs technology that intentionally releases or absorbs compounds from the food. This extends the shelf life of products by stalling the degradative reactions of lipid oxidation, microbial growth, and moisture loss and gain better than traditional food packaging.

In this presentation you will:
• Hear key trends and business examples to show the current status of active packaging and where the field is going
• Uncover active packaging including beta-packaging, XR, artificial intelligence, big data, and their thoughtful application in food packaging

July 19-23, 2021

  • July 21st- Science Required to Fuel More Sustainable Packaging 
  • July 21st- Keeping Packaged Food Safe: Implications of New Regulations and Test Methods for Assessing Direct Contact Food Packaging

September 20-22, 2021

The AACT National Seminar conference is held annually during the fall to roughly 300 technologists in the sweet goods industry. The conference is comprised of non-commercial seminar presentations, round table discussions, and social gatherings including the infamous Iron Confectioner competition. Presentations range from basics to innovations, providing the industry with practical information to help in understanding processes and ingredients used by their companies.

October 10-12, 2021 -  Antimicrobial packaging and a more sustainable food system - how Antimicrobial packaging is succeeding in food waste prevention

Antimicrobial packaging technology is increasingly being applied to increase food shelf life within packaged foods.  This increase in shelf life results in less food loss and waste from growers to consumers. Antimicrobial packaging technology is applied to the packaging that is in direct contact with food or as an edible coating. Thus, it does not increase the amount of packaging and needs to be compliant with the FDA and other global Directives.  Case studies on its use with specific pathogens and molds will be highlighted.
