The Development of New Material for Food Production Package in Indonesia: Proposed Key Success Factors

Abstract

Nowadays, it is important to reduce and replace plastic in the food manufacture industry. However, the development of new material is less than satisfactory. This paper aims to analyze the key factors for the development of new material for the food production package. A survey was conducted to gather data to test the factors in the development of new material for food production package identified by literature review, expert interviews, and distribution questionnaires to respondents. The questionnaire uses a Likert scale and the cluster sampling method. The analytical tool used is factor analysis. The results show that the key success factors are different from the developed country. The government was expected to have a significant effect on the development of new material, the public or consumer placed second.

“…Today, it is important to reduce and replace plastics in industry and food production. However, the development of new materials for packaging is unsatisfactory because the process is very complex (Tirdasari et al 2019).…”

“…The second hypothesis concerns that there are factors that influence the decision to implement ecopackaging of vegetable products. This is based on previous research (Oktariani et al 2019) which studied one of the factors for implementing ecopackaging products, there is the availability of ecopackaging materials. This research uses the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method.…”

“…Currently, the packaging used by PT XYZ in packaging vegetables uses almost 95% plastic wrap to maintain the freshness and durability of the vegetables. There are several alternative materials from previous research that will be compared with the company's perspective based on cost benefit parameters for the company, in terms of price, packaging process efficiency, labor expended, shelf life, supply chain (Tirdasari et al 2019). In addition, in this study, comparisons will also be made in terms of the availability of raw materials for packaging substitutes such as cardboard/paper packs and cloth bags.…”
