REDYSIGN performs first trials of prototype packaging solutions for fresh chicken
Partners from EROSKI, TECNALIA, PACKBENEFIT and ZABALA INNOVATION gathered at MAGUI Central Kitchen facilities, where a total of 96 packaging samples combining REDYSIGN developments and commercial reference materials were produced. The REDYSIGN project has completed its first validation trials of prototype packaging solutions for fresh chicken. The trials mark an important milestone for the project, […]
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 […]
Driving circular innovation in meat packaging: Insights from the REDYSIGN Workshop

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 […]
