28: Alex Cole on The Future of Smart Packaging

How much thought do you give to the packaging that inevitably comes with your order? Not much? Well, get ready to start looking at it differently. Did you know that, what is affectionately known as “smart packaging” is more than just being able to track your goods with extremely high accuracy? It’s much more personal than that. It’s about automatically re-ordering goods when you start to get low and enabling your doctor to monitor your parent’s pill intake, all without you needing to think about it. It’s also about allowing people to know if the Covid-test, or vaccine they’re about to take is the real deal or a counterfeit. It’s about monitoring the temperature of every single bottle individually. It’s about providing companies with a real shot at sustainability. It’s about the future. With us this week is Dr. Alex Cole, Head of Strategic marketing for CPI, a leading independent technology innovation center that acts as a catalyst for bringing innovative ideas and research into the marketplace. Join us as we talk about the world of smart packaging, its possibilities and what the future is bound to look like.
