Future Packaging Research Cluster

The cluster accelerates interdisciplinary research to find real-world solutions that will be readily adopted by consumers, government and business key for our sustainable future. The research includes in the innovation of new packaging materials (intelligent, biodegradable, self-healing, sustainable sourced and processed), biosensors and eco-friendly barrier coatings for packaging applications. It includes research related to safety and risk assessment, consumer attitudes/behaviour, supply chain implications and lifecycle assessment for developing packaging systems. Key will be to mobilize research outputs by engaging stakeholders from material providers to consumers to inform and shape regulatory policies, business and community/consumer practices.
