Active and Intelligent Packaging Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and FPosted by Statzy Market Research on April 30th, 2021 For supply chain professionals in the food, pharmaceutical and other industries that deal in products with limited longevity and specific environmental requirements, waste reduction and increased efficiency is only becoming more critical which shows there is a clear interest in packaging that can maintain food freshness, both before and after opening, and also in more explicit on-pack messages about how to store food. - Active and intelligent packaging includes anything from moisture reduction sachets and anti-microbial linings to allergen sensors and physical shock indicators. The upshot is that products, particularly perishables packaged in this way, provide greater transparency to both enterprises and consumers. Intelligent packaging solutions are widely being deployed by buyers in the pharmaceutical sector to improve the traceability of products. Such packages enable easy access to information about medicine through smartphone scanning. - In May 2020, EM Microelectronic, an Active and Intelligent Packaging Association (AIPIA) member supplying ultra-low-power semiconductors, part of the Swatch Group, with RFID development stretching back 30 years launched its enhanced product authentication dual-frequency RAINFC technology. It enables retailers and brands to offer their customers a holistic omnichannel experience, allowing them not only to purchase the products anytime, anywhere, but to interact with them throughout their life-cycle without compromising consumer privacy. Brands and retailers benefit from the combination of NFC with RAIN RFID in a single chip, making it a powerful all-in-one tool for supply chain management, consumer engagement, and product authentication. - In March 2020, A California hemp-based cannabidiol startup company, PearlCBD, operated by Origin Lab, is selling its products with ‘intelligent labels’ that uses Near Field Communication technology (NFC) in the delivery of information to its customers. The company began manufacturing and selling its goods this year, each with a unique ID number encoded on a passive NFC tag built into a label so that users can verify product authenticity before purchase and view lab test results regarding ingredients and other content. - With the outbreak of COVID-19, AptarGroup, one of the world’s leading makers of drug delivery, consumer product dispensing, and active packaging solutions, is seeking US FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for a solution that allows easy disinfecting of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (N95 mask). In this disinfecting process, the N95 mask cover and a small strip of Aptar’s ActivShield are placed inside any available one-gallon plastic bag. The strip releases a significant amount of chlorine dioxide inside the sealed bag to decontaminate the mask. The process takes only three hours until the mask is ready to wear again. It can be performed on-site at the local hospital where the mask is being used. For sample report please visit : https://www.statzyreports.com/report/sr499091/active-and-intelligent-packaging-market
- In April 2020, Jet Technologies, based in New South Wales Australia, has launched a new anti-microbial protective film that can be used for various print and packaging applications, including indirect contact food packaging. The film is active for ten years, regardless of how many people come into contact with the product. The evolution of intelligent packaging systems, through the use of sensor technologies, indicators (including freshness, integrity, and time-temperature indicators, TTI), and radio frequency identification (RFID), has been assessed for the potential use in meat and meat products as well. - In March 2020, El Ordeño, one of Ecuador's leading dairy producers, announced a new solution to support the dairy industry in that country. It will use the blockchain-based technology to monitor its TRU milk products, which have been re-launched with original packaging featuring a QR code. By scanning the label with a smartphone, consumers can now access information about the path that the milk has traveled, including information about the producer as well as the quality centers, cold chains, and distribution centers the milk passed through on its way to the table. - In January 2020, AIMPLAS has launched the SafetySenseO2 project to develop a printed sensor with the capacity to detect the presence of oxygen inside the packaging. The company hopes that this will make it possible to detect in-line defects in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in a non-destructive and economical way, as well as during transportation and storage. Besides, the oxygen sensor will reportedly provide the consumer with information about the quality and safety of the food at all times, to reduce the risk of food poisoning. - In August 2019, The Old Kempton Distillery (OKD), located in Australia, was utilizing NFC technology to combat counterfeits, as well as to improve the branding of its high-value whiskey, gin, and other liquor products as the company expand its market share across Australia and around the world. The NFC solution, provided by AusNFC, employs HID Global'sGlobal's Trusted Tag solution to uniquely identify each bottle and deliver web-based content from OKD about the company and the products. Users can interact via their smartphone. Content can include videos, membership offers, and links to websites. - In June 2019, Nestlė'sNestlė's China operation was set to expand the amount of information traceable via Blockchain with a target to increase this inventory between 15 – 18% in 2020. Globally the company has announced plans to achieve ''full supply chain transparency''. In China, it adopted Blockchain on 50 products in 2018, mainly in nutritional and dairy categories. Additionally, it hopes to refine and expand the types of information that can be traced, offering consumers more relevant product information. From a customer's point of view, when he or she scans the QR code, the system tells them exactly where the product has been. It increases the level of legitimacy and trustworthiness because they can access that type of data and information. - The high level of counterfeit infant formula in China is a significant concern for those supplying this massive market with authentic and carefully regulated products. One of the world's top dairy producers, FrieslandCampina, has appointed long-standing AIPIA member Kezzler to provide global serialization and track & trace services for its FRISO range used extensively in the market. The codes are generated using Kezzler'sKezzler's patented encryption technology. For each unit of FRISO Gold, Prestige, or FRISOMUM, the first QR code is located under the can be used for track and trace purposes. A second QR code will be placed inside the product and provides a channel for direct consumer engagement, including loyalty programs and promotions. - October 2019 - Amcor Capsules and integrated solutions provider Toppan Printing have teamed up for a new NFC-enabled anti-counterfeiting system for wine and spirits.
