The DIS30 platform was set up in collaboration with IPC, the plastics processing technical center, and financed by the AURA region. This multi-site platform capitalizes on the expertise and technical resources of the two centers, providing manufacturers and professionals with the tools they need to develop safer, more sustainable packaging.

With regard to packaging permeability, a range of characterization equipment has been acquired by the CTCPA and made available to the platform. In particular, we have acquired a permeameter dedicated to measuring water vapour transfer, with a sensitivity adapted to paperboard functionalized by barrier layers. Also of note is an original permeameter designed to measure oxygen/CO2 selectivity, an important characteristic for the preservation of so-called "breathable" products, such as 4th range fruit and vegetables.
