Investigation of biodegradable polyesters for food packaging applications Hasselt University
Circopack: Safe and efficient food packaging within the circular economy Hasselt University
Evaluation of the functionality of the new generation of compostable bioplastics in food packaging. KU Leuven
The main objective of this project is a better and wider use of the new generation of compostable packaging materials through a characterization and clustering of packaging properties in accordance with food product. This approach allows producers of these materials as well as food companies to better coordinate their needs. This should result in a more sustainable packaging industry.
Biobased aromatic diols as safe and sustainable alternatives for bisphenols KU Leuven
sustainable and functional packaging Ghent University
The project proposes to focus on three sub-projects: optimization of closing (seal) packaging, bio-based packaging for heating applications and food-safe packaging. The first subproject concerns of closing optimization (seal) packaging and the consideration of the opportunities to provide added functionality to add (eg. A selective permeability) through the seam of the package. In addition to the conventional sealing layers will also increase ...

Barrier layers based on potato peels for packaging materials suitable for protein-rich foods KU Leuven
Food packaging plays an important role in maintaining quality and safety of protein-rich foods and is contributing to an extended shelf-life and reduced food loss and waste. Depending on the food specific sensitivity towards the uptake or loss of gases, low, medium or high gas barrier properties of the packaging concept is required. To meet product-specific packaging properties such as a high oxygen barrier, different polymers including ...
