The food logistics sector is undergoing a transformative shift toward sustainability, with advanced packaging solutions that not only reduce waste but also improve supply chain efficiency. From biodegradable materials to smart technologies, these innovations are setting new standards for environmental responsibility.
Biodegradable Packaging from Orange Peel Waste
India’s Central Citrus Research Institute (ICAR-CCRI) and Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) have developed biodegradable packaging materials made from sweet orange peel waste. By integrating bioactive compounds from citrus peels into biopolymer matrices like chitosan-alginate, this collaboration aims to reduce reliance on synthetic plastics. The result is a sustainable alternative that promotes circularity and minimises plastic pollution in food packaging.
