MATERIALS | SMART PACKAGING
It covers the cultivation and harvesting of selected species, extraction and purification of essential oils and plant extracts, and manufacturing a variety of packaging materials – including activated carbon and bioplastics. Aimplas will produce PLA from lactic acid – pro- duced by fermenting sugars in plant biomass waste. Essential oils with different active properties – such as antimicrobial action – will be added to the PLA, and used to make cosmetics packaging. Aimplas is collaborating with Laboratorios Maver- ick to produce the packaging, and with Idoasis as a supplier of active substances.

BeonNet is developing bioplastics- based active packaging for cosmetics applications
To prevent fungal contamination, the mesh can be filled with silica gel sachets to dry the damaged material first – after which MOF sachets can be installed. Separate to this, Aimplas is a partner in the BeonNet project – which is developing bioplastics for active packaging for cosmetics applications. The project relies on sourcing biomass from trees and shrubs that are grown on marginal land.
Shelf-life assessment Oli-Tec has developed an intelligent label technol- ogy for products that are temperature- and time-sensitive.
It says this will help to reduce food waste – which in turn will cut greenhouse gas emissions. The smart labels can be applied to any product with a shelf life of between five and 15 days. They feature an integrated visual indicator that is sensitive to time and temperature. It gradually changes from yellow to red – more slowly in cool
