Everything about Active packaging
Packaging that interacts with products or their environment
Active packaging refers to packaging systems designed to perform functions beyond passive containment and physical protection. Active materials deliberately absorb or release substances in order to extend shelf life or maintain or improve the condition of a packaged product. Intelligent packaging monitors the condition of the product, the atmosphere inside the package, or conditions encountered during storage and distribution. Wikipedia →
