May 21, 2021 — — Researchers at Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft announced the development of an innovative and sustainable solution for food packaging as part of the Bioactive Materials project. This eco-friendly coating for paper packaging can make wrapping paper and re-sealable bags for fresh, cooked, or frozen foods.

The team made the coating from protein and waxes with bio-based additives. They are applied in liquid form using standard roll-to-roll technology. These new packaging solutions keep the food fresh for longer, and the antioxidants in the coating even extend the shelf life of the food.
