Nanotechnology is a groundbreaking field offering promising avenues to tackle the sustainability challenges inherent in packaging.
At its core, nanotechnology deals with materials and structures at the nanoscale, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, roughly the size of a few atoms aligned side by side. At such minuscule dimensions, materials exhibit unique properties, often vastly different from their bulk counterparts.
