Redesigning the absorbent pad: from wood-derived fibres to functional performance in fresh meat packaging
Absorbent pads are widely used in fresh meat packaging due to their role in minimising food waste. Their primary function is to manage the liquid released by the meat during storage, helping to maintain product quality and shelf life. Future developments in absorbent pads must therefore ensure that this functionality is preserved, as performance remains […]
Sustainable fibre applications take centre stage: REDYSIGN at 1st ENFiber International Conference
Dr. Gary Chinga Carrasco (RISE PFI) showcased REDYSIGN results on lignocellulosic fibres and thermoformed packaging applications Advances in fibre extraction and valorisation were at the forefront of the 1st ENFiber International Conference, which gathered experts to address the transformation of food and agro-processing waste into high-value materials. The event took place in Tartu, Estonia, from […]
A step closer to circular packaging: REDYSIGN prototypes advance towards real-world validation
Consortium partners gathered at McAirlaid’s facilities in Selm to assess the developed prototypes, address key challenges in innovative processes, and align on the best path towards successful demonstration. New milestones mark the REDYSIGN project’s progress towards fully recyclable, wood-based food packaging solutions. Recent achievements include the creation of several prototype components, such as fibre-based trays, […]
Research publication within REDYSIGN explores enzymatic innovation to enhance water resistance in fibre-based packaging
REDYSIGN continues to strengthen its scientific foundations with the publication of a new peer-reviewed article in the journal Cleaner Engineering and Technology. A new scientific publication developed within the REDYSIGN project investigates innovative enzymatic approaches to enhance moisture resistance in fibre-based materials, an important step towards advancing recyclable-by-design packaging solutions. The article, entitled “Thermo-pressed specimens […]
Integrating bio-based adhesives into fibre-based packaging systems
Adhesives are common items used daily for sealing, packing, repairing, or holding things together for long or short periods. If we take a broader picture, we need adhesives in packaging, construction, automotive and aerospace industries, and in electronic and medical devices. Adhesives of various types account for a significant portion of the worldwide market. Traditional […]
REDYSIGN will showcase packaging prototypes for fresh meat at CBE JU Stakeholder Forum 2026
The solutions will be presented on 24 March in Brussels, reflecting the project’s progress towards fibre-based and smart packaging systems designed for circularity. REDYSIGN will take part in the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) Stakeholder Forum 2026, which will be held on 24 March at The Square in Brussels. The event will bring […]
Inside REDYSIGN: Transforming wood streams into recyclable smart packaging
A conversation with Gert Preegel on the technical advances underpinning REDYSIGN’s recyclable smart packaging. As REDYSIGN advances in its mission to develop smart, fibre-based and recyclable-by-design packaging for fresh meat, one of its major development phases has recently been completed. This phase focused on establishing resource-efficient processes to obtain key wood-based material streams, such as […]
Bio-based barrier coatings: towards a plastic-free solution for fresh meat packaging
Modern lifestyles increasingly involve weekly or monthly purchases of fresh meat, which means it is rarely consumed immediately after purchase. This shift creates a pressing need for innovative packaging solutions that can preserve quality and safety over extended periods. Advanced barrier coatings play a crucial role in this context, as they help maintain freshness and […]
Eroski Living Lab explores the potential of REDYSIGN’s smart sensors for fresh meat packaging
This collaborative session brought together Eroski, TECNALIA, Grupo Hermi and Zabala Innovation to share conclusions on recent smart, recyclable-by-design packaging solutions. On 5 November, Eroski organised the first Living Lab within the framework of the REDYSIGN project, focused on exploring how VTT’s smart sensors can support the development of smarter, recyclable-by-design fibre-based packaging solutions for […]
