Anew smart food packaging system that powers itself without batteries could help reduce food waste and improve sustainability, researchers say.
The innovation allows packaging to sense food conditions in real time and automatically respond, offering a potential breakthrough in the fight against spoilage.
Wireless system detects food freshness
Developed by a team of engineers and scientists, the smart packaging can monitor the condition of food through built-in sensors. These sensors detect changes such as temperature, humidity, and gases released by decaying products.
