Chemical Smart Packaging

Chemical functionality is widespread in consumer smart packaging, ranging from the use of active oxygen scavenging packaging materials, to self-heating and self-cooling beverage containers, to colour change chemistry labels that can be used to monitor the freshness, ripeness or quality of food.

RipeSense™ Packs (colour-coded sensor labels)

The new RipeSense packs feature a traffic light-style system of sensors which measure the condition of the fruit inside.

When the sensor shows red, the fruit is crunchy, orange indicates it is firm and yellow means it is juicy.
