Behavioral Economics: 6 Trends Impacting Smart Packaging
Discover how consumer behavior trends are impacting the development of Smart Packaging solutions. With sustainability in mind, Smart Packaging is putting cutting-edge technology like biosensors and chipless RFID tags to use, offering real-time monitoring and personalized customer experiences.
?? Key Trends:
Daily Green Objects
?? Single-use plastics are one of the most relevant problems of our modern way of life, because they cannot be recycled or reused and consequently represent a massive waste of our natural resources.
?? Bruno Ravanello and Mónica Gaspar Sim?es, Senior Researchers at AlmaScience, point the way forward: paper/wood and cellulose-based products are becoming popular due to their origin, properties, cost, and recyclability.
?Learn more about how AlmaScience is taking up this challenge, developing cellulose and paper-based solutions that turn today's industry needs into tomorrow's products.
Sustainable Summertime – Part II
?? Sustainability has become a part of our everyday lives. For some, it might not be an active practice yet, but small daily thoughts and actions can spark our growing role.
Individually and collectively, we are increasingly contributing to the fight for an environment that is fair to its preservation, to us, and to all living species – ensuring a future for humanity and beyond.
