Project start date:

01/06/2018

Project end date:

Objectives

GLOPACK focuses on increasing the applicability of three main promising advances in the food packaging area:

  • bio-circular (biodegradable materials issued from agro-food residues conversion) packaging materials,
  • active packaging to improve food preservation and shelf-life without additives and
  • RFID enabled wireless food spoilage indicator as new generation of self-adjusting food date label.

Description

GLOPACK is a European Horizon 2020 innovation action project, running from 2018 to 2021, which aims to support food producers and consumers to get access to innovative food packaging solutions whilst enabling the reduction of agro-food waste.

GLOPACK aims to:

  • Demonstrate fully sustainable food packaging solutions in an operational environment by promoting three key aspects of food packaging innovations: bio-based & biodegradable, active and intelligent packaging.
  • Enable a stakeholder driven strategy for market uptake of innovative packaging solutions by the deployment of decision-making software tools, communication activities, business plans and sustainability scores.
