Q & A

Can you tell me the basis of NanoPack and its antimicrobial packaging solutions? What are some examples of how it’s used? In the NanoPack system, naturally-occurring mineral nanotubes are dispersed in plastic packaging films, and fixed there so they don’t come into contact with the food. These nanotubes hold natural essential oils extracted from plants [...]
