Food packaging testing is used to evaluate any packaging that comes into contact with food products. With the help of food packaging testing, manufacturers can ensure that their food packaging protects food quality and keeps the product free from contamination. One method of food packaging testing known as compatibility testing is used to evaluate the compatibility of a food packaging material with the food contained inside to ensure product safety and quality.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
