  1. Enhancing Food Safety with Innovative Packaging FACTNY (Food and Agriculture Collaborating through Technology in New York State and beyond) International Advanced Technology, Food, & Agriculture Conference November 18, 2008 Presented by Pactiv Corporation Rick Kornbau Manager, Product Safety & Regulatory Stewardship

  2. Traditional Packaging Functions: • Protection • Presentation • Unitization Innovative Packaging Functions: • Traceability • Preservation • Active Packaging • Indication • Intelligent Packaging

  3. New Clamshell Trace Process HarvestMark® (unique number) appended to UPC label

  4. New Clamshell Trace Process Labels applied to individual clamshells and associated with new packaging case label sporting daughter tags

  5. New Clamshell Trace Process Grower picks up cases of packaging and/or columns of kitted trays

  6. New Clamshell Trace Process Harvest Form is scanned upon receipt at distribution center Grower harvest data is captured and uploaded automatically

  7. New Clamshell Trace Process Consumer contacts distributor, trace system queries YottaMark hosted database to obtain Day+Ranch+SKU Other optional information can be captured and linked, creating new Business Intelligence reports Harvest Data Supply Chain Data Consumer Feedback

  8. Active Packaging Modifies and/or maintains the interior package environment to impart desired effect on food packaged within May transfer substances to packaged food or absorb substances from the food • Benefits of active packaging include: • Extended shelf life of packaged food • Reduced spoilage = reduced supply chain costs • Enhance presentation appearance of packaged food • Examples: • Absorbers / Scavengers for carbon dioxide, oxygen, moisture • Antimicrobials • Antioxidants • Ultraviolet light (UV) inhibitors

  9. Intelligent Packaging • Captures information about conditions experienced by the package, thereby indicating condition of food packaged within • Benefits / Examples: • Freshness indicators • Spoilage indicators • Tampering indicators • Temperature indicators • Time indicators

  10. SafeTMarks™ • Comprised of 1 or more Molecular Nanosensors • Responsive to Selected Environmental Changes • Chromogenic (Color Changes via External Stimulus) • Deliverable as: • Labels • Printed Drop-On-Demand, CIJ during manufacturing • Pre-Printed with Packaging • Thermal-printed retail or transport tracking labels • Integrated as Components of Packaging Materials

  11. Emerging Nanoscale Technologies Nanoscale Materials are: • 100 nanometers (nm) or less in any one dimension • Naturally - occurring • Nanoclays • Sea Salt • Volcanic dust • Man - made • Industrial dusts • Welding Fumes • Engineered Nanoscale Materials (ENM) • Carbon Nanotubes • C60 Fullerenes • Nanoparticles of familiar materials, e.g.: Au. SiO2, TiO2, ZnO

  12. Emerging Nanoscale Technologies Current Nanotechnology Applications: • Coatings for eyeglasses and automobiles • Sports equipment • Stain - resistant clothing • Sunscreen lotions • Water filtration • Wound dressings

  13. Emerging Nanoscale Technologies Why are Nanoscale Materials of Interest ? • Unique properties and capabilities • Chemical reactivity • Electrical conductivity • Strength

  14. Emerging Nanoscale Technologies Packaging Applications for Nanoscale Materials: • Barriers to Oxygen, UV light • Heat resistance • Active / Intelligent Packaging: • Biochromic sensors: Biochemical reactions • Electrochomic sensors: Electrical fields • Ionochromic sensors: Ionic concentrations • Photochromic sensors: Infrared / UV light • Piezochromic: Atmospheric pressure • Thermochromic: Temperature
