A development competition could not be more compact. Over two days, students and young professionals met in the Swabian Packaging Valley for the so-called Makeathon. At various locations, they worked on solutions for digitalisation and sustainability in packaging machine construction. They also came up with ideas for smarter packaging.<\/p>\n

Smart food packaging<\/h2>\n

One of the venues was the headquarters of machine manufacturer Optima. There, in the new Digital Innovation Centre, the participants developed three solutions for a Sustainable circular economy and environmentally friendly packaging<\/strong>. One idea: A dynamic tag<\/strong> as a replacement for the conventional barcode on food packaging. It informs retailers and consumers about stock levels and can provide early warning before fruit or vegetables go bad.<\/p>\n

Reusable with built-in chip<\/h2>\n

Another idea was Standardised reusable packaging with integrated data chips<\/strong>, which are produced and reprocessed centrally. These promise logistical advantages, enable centralised recycling and create transparency about stock levels thanks to the integrated data storage system. \u201efully automated unpacked shop\u201c<\/strong>. After entering a desired weight, the dispenser doses bulk goods such as coffee beans into reusable containers.<\/p>

Projects for environmentally friendly packaging to be expanded<\/h2>\n

As further steps, the participants are planning market analyses and the Initiation of intensive cooperation<\/strong> with all companies involved in the value chain - from packaging machine manufacturers to food companies. They want to further expand their projects and Integrate into the circular economy in the long term<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
