Description
The main objective of this Action is to constitute an
international scientific and technology network on issues related
to eco-sustainable Polymer Nanocomposites Food Packaging for the
preservation, conservation and distribution of high quality and
safe food.
The Action will constitute an international scientific and
technology network on issues related to Eco-sustainable Polymer
Nanomaterials for Food Packaging (PNFP), for the preservation,
conservation and distribution of high quality and safe food. The
Action aims at exploiting the potentiality of polymer
nanotechnology in the area of food packaging treating in a complete
way the demanding needs of the users, such as health, environment,
taste, cost and the specific requirements of the food industry. The
envisioned direction is to look at the complete life cycle of the
PNFP by the combined efforts of leading research and industrial
groups. The Action will identify the barriers (in research and
technology, safety, standardisation, trained workforce and
technology transfer) that prevent a complete successful development
of PNFP and will indicate the strategies to proceed further.
