Nano Technology
According to Jane Byme of Food Production Daily, a new innovation in commercial food packaging is the use of nanotechnology in order to make packaging thinner and biodegradable. According to Byme, this new technology allows commercial food processing companies to utilize packaging materials that reduce food gases, which delays how quickly they degrade and become inedible. For example, you can now purchase food storage bags that are "green" but also help you keep food fresher longer. This is an excellent way in which food storage and new techniques for food storage come together for mutual benefit.
