This is how the smart packaging that speaks to you is made

Technology is breaking boundaries that we would never have imagined going beyond. Who knows how many times you have been a slave of an expiration date, checking it several times to better enjoy your favorite product. Technology is breaking boundaries

You probably never thought there could be a different solution. Some researchers, driven by the desire to fight food waste, have found it. A team of physicists at Trinity College in Dublin (Ireland) has devised two-dimensional microchips that could completely revolutionize our lives. The invention allowed Jonathan Coleman, Adam Kelly and Toby Hallam to be mentioned in the journal Science, one of the most prestigious scientific periodicals in the world. This discovery could affect every aspect of our lives, from passports to LEDs, from banknotes to pharmaceuticals. And, of course, also the packaging.

What will these devices do?

It is not the first time that an object becomes our interlocutor: think for example of home automation, which allows us to give orders to our windows. These microchips will allow you to communicate with the products inside your fridge or your pantry, reporting the optimal storage conditions and the approaching expiration date.

Do you want some examples?

The bottle of wine to be uncorked on special occasions will tell you which is the perfect temperature to preserve it to the fullest. The vegetable will keep the bill of days on its own, leaving you only the pleasure of eating it. The milk carton will send you a text message to tell you that the expiration date is approaching.
The label of your favorite food will change color if the humidity level is not ideal. In short, our foods will come to life.

Will this technology affect the cost of products?

Physicists who have invented these innovative microchips foresee a rapid diffusion. Although they will be very useful for combating food waste, the invention is easy to assemble, printable and therefore relatively inexpensive. What to expect from the future.

Packaging will no longer require the use of glass, cardboard and plastic: the future reserves new, 100% environmentally friendly, water-soluble packaging.

The new projects have been designed all over the world:

  • In India they invented packaging made of algae.
  • Swedish scholars propose a packaging of caramelized sugar.
  • American researchers are developing packaging made of casein (the carbohydrate present in some fruits and citrus fruits) and pectin (the milk protein).

The solutions that we have listed will allow us to safeguard our planet, guaranteeing the possibility for future generations to enjoy the environment as we have been able to do.
If you want to ensure your consumers all the freshness they desire, you will have to choose an innovative packaging.
