Therefore, a project was initiated in order to develop smart plant based food packaging which increases the shelf life of food and the researchers also have formulated sensors that notify the consumers and retailers whether the food inside can be consumed or not. The global smart plant based food packaging is expected to register a healthy growth rate over the forecast period.

The global smart plant based food packaging market is driven by various factors which includes eminent advantages of smart plant based food packaging and demand from food & beverage industry.

Food packaging is essential for containment of products, preservation and protection, to reduce food spoilage, eliminating the risk of adulteration and present food in a hygienic and aesthetically attractive way.

According to the Agriculture and Food Organization, one third of the food in the world is wasted and most of this wasted food is generated by retailers and consumers who follow dates on packages and throw away edible food due to a label.

Smart plant based food packaging not only extend the life of the food product but also eliminates the need for environment-harming plastic. The global smart plant based food packaging market can be segmented on the basis of product type, material type and as per the region.

On the basis of product type, the global smart plant based food packaging market is segmented into blow moulded, pot designed and others. On the basis of material type, the global smart plant based food packaging market is divided into cellulose based film and blow moulded film. On the basis of region, the global smart plant based food packaging market is segmented into North America, Europe and the emerging countries of Asia Pacific.

Safety of food products has become a top priority of consumers on a global scale. Increasing awareness among the consumers regarding the environmental concerns and gradual change in buying habits, which in turn is anticipated to propel the smart plant based food packaging market.

Biodegradable plant based polymers in smart plant based food packaging is manufactured by cultivating carbohydrates via bacteria, while bio plant based polymers are macromolecules derived from plant residues.

This provides the smart plant based food packaging improved food preservative properties. It is mainly designed to extend shelf life of the food and also to protect the contents from its surroundings. Standard packaging permits the entry of air which places limitations on shelf life of the food.
