In order to undertake the transition from petroleum-based plastics to sustainable plastics, there needs to be market acceptance of the new non-petroleum based packaging using feedstock and processing steps with less impact to the environment.

This project aims to develop a nano sensor manufacturing technology for real-time monitoring of food and food packaging quality. The data collected by the sensor platform will provide consumer information to support the discrete choice econometric model as defined. Our innovation offers a solution to reduce the complexity in nano sensor manufacturing by directly depositing nano sensors on polymeric packaging materials.
