“…In scientific literature, similar experiments have not been carried out, to our knowledge. In their recent review, Zuo et al 22 have reviewed different packaging related use cases for RFID tags, and list food‐safe materials, recyclability and cost among others as the main challenges for use of RFID tags in food packaging. However, durability of the tags is not addressed.…”

Reusable packaging has been used as a case study for development of durable and sustainable smart tags that can provide both identity management and potentially also condition monitoring capabilities. Four different smart tag technologies have been investigated, including laser engraved 2D bar codes, printed 2D bar codes with combined temperature indicator, printed NFC (Near‐Field Communication) tags and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags as labels. All technologies showed excellent durability towards repeated washing and heating when protective layers were used. SWOT analysis was also carried out to weight the advantages and disadvantages of the different technologies summarizing the choice of the technology per use and end‐of‐life requirements. Sustainability of the investigated technologies is discussed from the smart tag recyclability perspective and the challenges that can be seen related to the use of electronic functionalities and/or plastic‐based protective layers.

“…RFID tags, on the other hand, utilize radio frequency circuitry to store and transmit product information, enabling effective product identification and tracking. Comprising an integrated circuit linked to a miniature antenna, the RFID tag communicates stored data to a reader [14] . Compared to bar codes, RFID boasts numerous advantages, including an extended reading range, robust penetration, heightened efficiency, and large data storage capacity.…”

This paper explores blockchain-based intelligent packaging in the food industry to establish a transparent traceability system. The main objective is to address information asymmetry, enhancing consumer confidence in food safety. By leveraging blockchain technology, key data points are recorded in a decentralized manner, bridging the gap between producers and consumers. The proposed decentralized food traceability system improves market supervision efficiency and curbs counterfeit products. Consumers gain easy access to trustworthy traceability details, fostering trust in the food supply chain. Ultimately, this technology-driven approach elevates enterprise brand value and reputation. In conclusion, blockchain-based traceable smart packaging revolutionizes food supervision, providing comprehensive oversight across the supply chain. It enhances consumer confidence and promotes transparency in the food industry, driving advancements in food traceability for a safer and more trustworthy supply chain.
