Packaging innovation: a support tool for packaging manufacturers and users

Published on : 04/02/2022

A packaging innovation tool for packaging manufacturers and users has been developed in the framework of the European project Mypack, coordinated by Actia and in connection with the RMT Actia Propack food. The CTCPA has ensured the scientific coordination of the tool design.


L'tool The packaging innovation support system, developed within the framework of the European project Mypack, addresses all the barriers to market access for packaging technologies:

  • the proper functionality of the packaging,

  • compliance with regulatory constraints,

  • industrial feasibility,

  • control of the environmental impact of packaging,

  • control of contaminant migration,

  • economic constraints,

  • consumer acceptability.

Each section can be addressed separately. Innovation always starts from one of these points of view, and therefore rarely embraces them exhaustively. But at the end of each chapter we invite the user to consider the other constraints. In the subsection "Beware of communicating vessels", we make the user aware of the negative impacts of a "monomaniacal" optimization. For example, if the innovation is carried out only from the point of view of the intrinsic environmental impacts of the packaging, it will be important to consider that the decrease in functionality also has consequences on the conservation performance and its impacts on food waste.

The CTCPA ensured the scientific coordination of the project as well as the design of the tool.
The tool is built to be evolutionary; it will be regularly updated and enriched with links to more detailed documents.
