Food packaging and the new coronavirus: challenges and opportunities for the packaging industry post-Covid-19
Abstract Health authorities such as the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that while SARS-CoV-2 contamination from surfaces such as food or its packaging is possible, it is not seen as the primary way of contagion. In studies addressing virus survival on surfaces, the virus is no longer detected on porous objects such as corrugated cardboard and fabric after 2 and 5 days, respectively, and also on non-porous surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for periods longer than 7 days. It was also observed that this persistence depends on environmental factors such as temperature, relative humidity and solar radiation incidence. The Coronavirus Disease-2019 (Covid-19) pandemic also had an impact on food industries, whereby digitalization trends increased, as well as the packaging industry with the expansion of e-commerce, consumer demand for packaging that is easy to disinfect and the development of more environmentally responsible packaging. On the other hand, taking into account the fear of contamination by the virus, consumers felt safer handling disposable products or single-use packaging instead of reusable packaging, which goes against the progressive ban on disposable packaging in regions, such as the European Union (EU). In the post-pandemic, concerns regarding the usage of plastics will be resumed, and in the long term, a reduction in the use of single-use packaging and a growth in recyclable waste generation rates similar to those predicted before Covid-19 is expected.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Food Technology (BJFT) is an electronic rolling pass publication with free access, whose purpose is to publish unpublished articles based on original research results and technological information that significantly contribute to the dissemination of new knowledge related to production and evaluation of food in the areas of science, technology, food engineering and nutrition (non-clinical). Manuscripts of national or international scope are accepted, presenting new concepts or experimental approaches that are not only repositories of scientific data. The Journal publishes original articles, review articles, scientific notes, case reports, and short communication in Portuguese and English. The submission of a manuscript presupposes that the same paper is not under analysis for publication in any other divulging vehicle. Articles specifically contemplating analytical methodologies will be accepted as long as they are innovative or provide significant improvement to existing methods. It is at the discretion of the Editors, depending on the subject relevance, the acceptance of works with test results of industrialized products without the information necessary to manufacture them. Papers aimed essentially at commercial propaganda will not be accepted.
