Nanotechnology has 'big potential' for packaging, says PIRA consultant
Abstract:
PIRA consultant Dr Graham Moore has highlighted the "big potential" for nanotechnology in packaging as long as issues surrounding consumer safety are fully addressed.
Moore made the comments during an online conference organised yesterday (26 November) by the NanoKTN in conjunction with Leatherhead Food Research, titled Development and Enhancement of Packaging through Nanotechnology.
