Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (MGC) is releasing a future-proof eco-friendly packaging solution in response to the growing legislation around per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The company will be unveiling the PFAS-free AGELESS oxygen absorber technology at PACK EXPO in September. This new technology replaces PFAS with a proprietary formula, where the oxygen absorbers are oil-resistant and can deoxidize the interior or sealed packaging to maintain flavor, color, fragrance, and nutrition of freshly prepared food. It can also extend shelf life, without using unhealthy preservatives, the company says. It is intended to be used to protect and preserve products such as processed meats, meat snacks, baked goods, dried fruits, coffee, pet treats, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals.
