4. Food Packaging Solutions from SCGP

SCGP has made investments to grow its food packaging businesses in response to megatrends, expanded the production capacity, and consistently developed food packaging innovations in order to foster robust growth and ensure it can expand into various markets, accommodate different consumer lifestyles, and promote the growth of global food packaging demand.



• Paper tray for fresh meat from Fest by SCGP :

Designed and produced for functionality, the innovative and eco-friendly food packaging caters to eco-conscious consumers and ensures freshness, hygiene, and safety of the fresh meat contained.



• OptiBreath® :

As vegetables and fruits are perishable, any leftovers in restaurants and food businesses can spoil and become food waste if not properly preserved, resulting in increased costs. To this end, SCGP has invented OptiBreath®, an innovative food packaging to extend fruits and vegetables’ shelf life. The flexible packaging makes use of a modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) system, in which the material and manufacturing method of the film are selected to suit each specific type of fruit and vegetable to maximize the ability of the packaging to preserve the freshness. In addition, holes are made in the packaging to maintain the appropriate gas permeability and evaporation rates within the packaging, thus preventing condensation and protecting the product from contamination. As a result, stores and consumers can store items for longer while preserving the freshness, color, smell, and taste as well as slowing down the growth of microorganisms.



• Odor Lock :

Designed to lock in aromas, this innovative packaging is made from a special type of smell-impermeable plastic that prevents odors from seeping out and is thus perfect or storage of strong-smelling foodstuffs, such as durian, fermented fish, salted fish, dried squid, dried shrimp, shallots, garlic, chili paste, shrimp paste, pickled clams, salted crab, and animal food. Odor Lock prevents unpleasant smell from seeping out during transportation and makes it possible to store strong-smelling food along with other products. The packaging also helps prevent contamination as it can be easily sealed with heat and can be kept in cold storage or ice without the issue of seepage. It can also be refrigerated without causing condensation within, therefore helping to preserve the appearance and flavors of the food.

Developed to simplify calculation and reduce calculation time, the voice-operated calculator can give you the solution as soon as you provide the problem. As it can respond in Thai and work offline, the innovation gives everyone easy access to technology, especially those with visual impairments and individuals who cannot read or write, enabling them to solve basic math problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as well as equations. The voice command technology can also be applied to other innovations to enable them to talk to users.


• ONE – Smart Faucet
COTTO smart faucets with a voice interface


The voice interface enables users to conveniently turn the faucet off or on with their voice, thus giving them more control over water usage and allowing them to save more water. The faucet is also friendly to individuals with visual impairments as it comes with an offline voice command capability, and helps minimize contact with high-touch surfaces, which are often contaminated with germs, and, in turn, reduce risk of diseases.

As an innovation unit behind SCG’s new business development, WEDO gives students nationwide an opportunity to take an internship at SCG under “WEDO Young Talent Program” in the form of micro-enterprises. Participants will get to learn and develop skills of the future related to creativity, innovation, and technology through hands-on experiences and coaching by experts in each field in order to develop solutions that integrate digital technology for better and more convenient living, such as:


• Brain Computer Interface (BCI)
An innovation that communicates thoughts

In collaboration with Phayathai Hospital, this technology assists patients unable to use their limbs and speak, such as those with locked-in syndrome or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and bedridden patients, to once again communicate with their beloved ones and families. The brain computer interface reads the frequency of the patients’ brain waves, acquires and relays brain signals to a computer that translates and communicates the patient’s thoughts and feelings, such as when they feel thirsty, wish for the lights to be turned off, and are unable to breathe.
