TU Dublin Lecturers Publish First Two Volumes in Elsevier’s Sustainable Food Packaging Series
Dr Swarna Jaiswal and Dr Amit Jaiswal; Lecturers and Principal Investigators in TU Dublin’s School of Food Science and Environmental Health and Centre for Sustainable Packaging and Bioproducts (CSPB), have published the first two volumes of a new international book series on Sustainable Food Packaging with Academic Press, an imprint of Elsevier. Both volumes are now available globally.
The series, developed through a long-term editorial collaboration, highlights TU Dublin’s leadership in environmentally responsible, science-led packaging research. It brings together leading international experts to address the growing demand for safer, circular, and low-impact food packaging solutions.
The first volume, Safety and Sustainability Aspects of Food Packaging (co-edited with Nur Alim Bahmid), examines material science, packaging safety, environmental impacts, and regulatory frameworks, with a focus on chemical migration, sustainable materials, and life-cycle assessment.
The second volume, Smart and Intelligent Food Packaging: Innovations and Insights (edited with Kalpani Y. Perera), explores emerging technologies such as sensors, indicators, and real-time monitoring systems. It highlights advances in nano-enabled smart packaging, digital traceability, and practical case studies demonstrating improved food safety, reduced waste, and enhanced supply-chain transparency.
Together, these publications represent a significant milestone for TU Dublin’s research in sustainable materials and advanced packaging. Dr Swarna Jaiswal and Dr Amit Jaiswal are internationally recognised for their work in bio-based materials, antimicrobial and active packaging systems, and smart sensor-enabled technologies.
The editors noted that the series aims to provide an authoritative resource for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers, while aligning closely with the mission of TU Dublin’s Centre for Sustainable Packaging and Bioproducts to support the transition to circular and environmentally responsible packaging systems.
Both volumes are available in paperback and eBook formats through Elsevier, with institutional access provided via ScienceDirect.
