“…This condition is fully in line with European and global policies that are increasingly focused on the environmental and social sustainability of processes and products. Additionally, consumers are becoming more attentive to reducing environmental impact and mitigating the effects of climate change [114][115][116]. Therefore, a thoughtful implementation of these concepts could further motivate consumers to purchase products featuring innovations such as active packaging or intelligent labels.…”

The agribusiness sector is constantly seeking solutions to enhance food security, sustainability, and resilience. Recent estimates indicate that one-third of the total food production remains unused due to waste or limited shelf life, resulting in negative environmental and ethical consequences. Consequently, exploring technological solutions to extend the shelf life of food products could be a crucial option to address this issue. However, the success of these technological solutions is closely linked to the perception of the end-consumers, particularly in the short term. Based on these considerations, this paper presents a systematic literature review of the main technological innovations in the fresh meat industry and of consumers’ perceptions of such innovations. Regarding innovative technologies, this review focused on active and smart packaging. Amidst various technological innovations, including the utilization of fundamental matrices and natural additives, a noticeable gap exists in consumer perception studies. This study represents the first comprehensive compilation of research on consumers’ perceptions and acceptance of innovations designed to extend the shelf life of fresh meat. Moreover, it sheds light on the existing barriers that hinder the complete embrace of these innovations.

“…Intelligent packaging design focuses on enhancing the user experience, convenience, and operability, ultimately improving the quality and market competitiveness of packaging design. At the same time, intelligent packaging design will focus on recyclability and degradability, reducing environmental pollution and resource waste by improving the degradability and recyclability of packaging materials [3]. Future intelligent packaging design will focus on enhancing the user experience, sustainability, intelligence, and safety, which will significantly impact the development of the packaging industry and product sales.…”

Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data are transforming traditional industries, including intelligent packaging design. As the manufacturing industry develops, consumer expectations for packaging are increasing, presenting challenges for technological innovation and integrated development of intelligent packaging. This paper explores these challenges and proposes strategies for organic integration of technology, environmental protection, and aesthetics in intelligent packaging design. These strategies include strengthening technological innovation, improving environmental performance, emphasizing aesthetic design, and guiding consumer consumption concepts to improve the added value and market competitiveness of packaging.

“…Historically, packaging materials were designed to prevent food degradation, contamination, and function as a barrier to chemical and mechanical stresses [ 11 ]. Food packaging has evolved from being a passive barrier to having a more active role in preservation and traceability along the supply chain [ 5 , 12 , 13 ]. Food companies look to strengthen their supply chain management and logistics to guarantee the highest level of control.…”

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is crucial in revolutionizing the food supply chain and combating global food waste. However, this technology faces challenges in full integration due to disruptive effects on tags caused by the dielectric properties of food and beverage ingredients, chemical constituents, and their packaging. This paper aims to demonstrate the effect of packaging and beverage contents on RFID tag performance. Three commercially available ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID tags with different designs were tested on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, measuring tag performance through sensitivity, backscatter, and read range in the presence of various water-based solutions and commercially available beverages. The results highlight the substantial impact of the beverage type and tag design on RFID performance. The results of this study showed that tag 3 was the most consistent and readable tag amongst those tested in the presence of different beverage contents. Tag 3 resulted in a sensitivity ranging from −0.49 to −2.01 dBm, backscatter from −38.16 to 43.59 dBm, and read range from 1.58 to 1.88 m, while tag 1 performed the best in the presence of an empty PET bottle resulting in a sensitivity of −20.78 dBm, backscatter of −23.65 dBm, and read range of 16.34 m. The results of this study can be used for further investigations to develop a mathematical model that predicts the RFID tag performance based on the food composition. This model will be helpful for the design of the tags while facilitating the adoption of smart packaging for food traceability.
