smart packaging, design, food industry, biodegradableAbstract
Food packaging plays a crucial role in enhancing product quality by preserving and communicating its value and nutritional composition. Moreover, smart packaging technologies offer improved functionality, extended shelf life, and solutions to sustainability challenges. This systematic review aims to examine the design aspects of smart packaging in the food industry and its environmental implications, drawing from scientific literature published between 2017 and 2023. Data were sourced from the Scopus database using a search equation incorporating terms related to smart packaging, industry, and the environment. The initial search identified 4,540 articles, of which 55 were selected through the PRISMA method. Notably, over 20% of the studies originated from China, followed by Italy and Brazil, with a marked increase in publications since 2020. The most frequently used descriptors were "packaging materials" and "food packaging." Half of the selected articles discussed the environmental benefits of smart packaging design, particularly the use of recyclable materials and agro-industrial waste. Key factors in the design process include biodegradability, food compatibility, and cost efficiency. In conclusion, integrating advanced technologies and organic waste into packaging production not only enhances product quality and consumer satisfaction but also fosters sustainable practices.
