"Since 2015, in cooperation with the Standard Organization (Iran Nanotechnology Innovation Council represents Iran in ISO/TC229 subcomittee), development of a standard related to intelligent and active nano-packaging has started. After five years of continuous of intense work, the development of this standard was completed and accepted by ISO,” Lesankhosh said. Developing and adopting such standard is an important act for facilitating international buisiness in advanced packaging .
Dr. Lesankhos said:"Five generations of packaging technologies have been experienced over the last decades. In the first generation, the vacuum packaging was used; meaning that gases, including oxygen, were removed. In the second generation, in addition to removing oxygen, inert gases such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen were pumped into the packaging. Then companies moved on to adsorbents such as dehumidifiers or oxygenators. Nowadays adsorbents are added as additive materials in producing various types of packaging.
As Dr. Lesankhosh stated, in order to maximize product durability, a special combination of gases should be injected inside the packaging. Thus, for example, completely different combination of gases are used for cucumber packaging in comparison with that of cherry packaging. This Iranian company produces and sells special nano-packages as well as nano masterbatches to different customers.
