Concerns over the safety of food packaging have been growing as studies have shown that re-useable bags can contain bacteria contamination from re-use. Bacteria such as E-Coli and Campylobacter can be present on the outside of food packaging materials, and contact with the bag will cause cross-contamination. Hence the recommendation to use fabric bags and wash regularly. The core of the problem relates to the presence of harmful bacteria on the outside of the packaged food products. Even with high food hygiene standards in the UK, the rates of Campylobacter on the outside of chicken packaging has risen from 6 to 7% in 2020\. A US study showed that 51% of 'bags for life' contain harmful bacteria.The project will create a technology to prevent the survival of bacteria and viruses on food packing. The material stock used to wrap the food will have a biocidal coating on the outside that will rapidly kill any form of organic contamination. Whether the contamination occurs in the factory or at the supermarket, the bacteria and viruses will be killed within minutes.

对食品包装安全的担忧一直在增长，因为研究表明，可重复使用的袋子可能含有重复使用的细菌污染。大肠杆菌、弯曲杆菌等细菌可存在于食品包装材料的外部，与袋子接触会造成交叉污染。因此，建议使用织物袋并定期清洗。问题的核心是包装食品外部存在有害细菌。即使英国的食品卫生标准很高，鸡肉包装外的弯曲杆菌比率也从2020年的6%上升到7%。美国的一项研究表明，51%的“生命袋”含有有害细菌。该项目将创造一种技术，以防止细菌和病毒在食品包装上的生存。用于包装食品的原料在外面有一层杀菌涂层，可以迅速杀死任何形式的有机污染物。无论污染发生在工厂还是超市，细菌和病毒都会在几分钟内被杀死。
