Nanotechnology for Packaging Applications

Nanotechnology is recognised as one of the most promising avenues of technology in the 21st century. Within this, nanocomposite technology will be a core building block of future packaging materials. Consumers’ demands for more convenient, fresher foods, better tasting beverages and more stable non-durable goods are driving the need for the improvements in barrier and protective packaging. Nanocomposites are the leading-edge answer to these challenges. With a range of expert speakers, Pira’s Impact Forum will show you where the technology is heading and where it will create opportunities and potential for added-value within rigid and flexible packaging - from food and beverage end-uses to emerging commercial applications in pharmaceuticals and electronics.
