Development of a Technology to produce Antimicrobial Food Packaging Paper

该项目建立了Innofibre和Kruger Inc.之间的新伙伴关系。用于开发使用不同的生物活性制剂和不同的表面处理方法和工艺制成的用于食品包装的新型生物活性纸。 为实现项目范围而开展的工作包括实验室/中试纸张表面处理试验和试验样品测试。 克鲁格的战略计划是实现其成为创新食品包装产品，技术和服务领导者的战略愿景;致力于可持续发展和更美好的未来，战略目标是超越其需求下降的核心通信新闻用纸业务，并将自己定位为需求不断增长的特种纸市场的首选供应商。该项目的产品和结果与克鲁格的战略计划保持一致，以确保其有助于实现组织的总体目标。 本项目将有助于对大学生进行生物活性纸制造过程的培训。在这个项目中获得的知识将提高Innofibre团队以及克鲁格特种纸的知识。Innofibre和克鲁格之间的密切合作将促进克鲁格Bromptonville和Wayagamack工厂的技术转让。

This project establishes a new partnership between Innofibre and Kruger inc. for the development of a novel bioactive paper for food packaging made using different bioactive formulations and different surface treatment methods and processes. The work that will be performed to deliver the project scope is composed of laboratory/pilot paper surface treatment trials and trial samples testing. The strategic plan of Kruger is to achieve its strategic vision of being the leader in innovative food packaging products, technologies, and services; committed to a sustainable and better future, strategic goal of expanding beyond its core communications newsprint paper business, where demand is declining, and strategic objective of positioning itself as a supplier of choice in specialty paper markets with growing demand. The products and results of this project aligns with Kruger's strategic plan to ensure that it contributes to the overall objectives of the organization. This project will contribute to training of the college students on the process of manufacturing bioactive paper. The knowledge gained during this project will improve the knowledge of Innofibre' team as well as those of Kruger Specialty Papers. This close collaboration between Innofibre and Kruger will promote the technology transfer throughout Kruger Bromptonville and Wayagamack facilities.
