The Active and Intelligent Packaging Association (AIPIA) will survey the role active and intelligent packaging technology can play in profitability during AIPIA’s Congress (November 2 to 4, 2014) during Pack Expo International and Pharma Expo 2014 in Chicago, US.
“Active and intelligent packaging is a high-technology approach to some common issues. Food safety, shelf-life and counterfeiting, which are all included in this agenda, are just a few examples,” says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.
The program highlights will include sessions on nanotechnology, track and trace, smart labels, food waste reduction, anti-counterfeiting and shelf-life extension.
The Congress Forum will reveal several very promising research and development projects.
“Major brand owners are clearly ready to invest heavily in active and intelligent packaging. Some already have. Recent conversations have taken us by surprise — not due to the enthusiasm for the technologies, but the diverse range of motivations behind it,” says AIPIA Executive Director Eef de Ferrante.
