Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Packaging
Researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park, have introduced an innovative approach to discover promising biodegradable plastic alternatives. Their method, outlined in a paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, combines state-of-the-art machine learning techniques with molecular science. Traditional methods for finding sustainable plastic substitutes are often time-consuming and yield suboptimal results. In contrast, this machine learning-based approach accelerates the development of environmentally friendly, all-natural plastic substitutes that meet essential performance standards. By combining automated robotics, machine learning, and active learning loops, the researchers aim to create materials suitable for manufacturing and industry settings. These advancements could significantly impact products in consumer packaged goods (CPG), offering versatile and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastics.
Innovations in Agriculture and Food Systems: The Path to Sustainability
The “Appetite for Change” report highlights the urgent need for transformative, sustainable agricultural and food system innovations. From precision farming and regenerative methods to novel food production tech like cellular agriculture and biofortification, cutting-edge approaches can boost yields, enhance nutrition, and minimize environmental impact. Innovative solutions tackling the staggering issue of food waste, such as upcycling, smart packaging, and AI supply chain optimization, are also critical. For consumers, businesses and policymakers alike, staying informed about the latest agriculture and food innovations empowers stakeholders to drive meaningful change toward a greener, healthier food future.
Eco-Design and Circularity in Consumer Goods
The world is witnessing a powerful and inspiring shift towards a community of eco-conscious and socially responsible buyers. Let’s focus on an innovative and responsible product that aligns with these values, specifically eliminating single-use plastics. Repurpose manufactures ocean-safe, biodegradable tableware made from plant materials. Its product line is projected to double this year, scaling sustainable innovation in consumer goods. “We wanted to focus on innovation and partnerships and in doing so, we created a brand new category with incredible everyday products for everyday people. In my mind, there is nothing better.” -Jordan Silverman, Repurpose Co-Founder & COO

Inclusively designed to meet the needs of those facing hand-motion disorders from stroke, arthritis, Huntington’s Disease, and individuals facing mobility challenges, HAPTA is a new computerized makeup assistant. “L’Oréal Research & Innovation is accelerating its drive for continuous progress, helping all the different types of beauty around the world and the consumers of tomorrow.” -Barbara Lavernos, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Research, Innovation and Technology
Mobile Ready Smart Packaging- Inclusive, informative product pack programs for the sight impaired
Zapvision is designed to enhance the accessibility of product packaging for everyone, providing total independence when purchasing and searching for products, whatever your visual acuity. It is a system by Zappar that enables brands to provide important product information to consumers by reimagining QR codes with their patent-pending D3 ‘dot-dot-dash’ pattern. This allows brands to convert existing QR codes into Accessible QR codes without having to make any major design changes to their packaging or introduce an additional code scheme. Customers can scan AQR codes in store or at home and quickly access relevant and important product information such as ingredients, usage instructions, and promotional offers from 3x the distance of normal QR scanning. Accessible QR codes provide an opportunity to future proof your business as changes across CPG and retail sectors demand innovative mobile ready packaging.
