Food is one of the necessities of human life. It is mandatory to maintain a balanced diet with fresh fruits and vegetables to maintain good health conditions. In this fast-forwarded generation, consumers often expect faster delivery of fruits, vegetables, and even food products. For this purpose, the food materials are stored in bulk storage areas. Every type of food requires its environment to stay fresh for a long time. When different types of food materials in enormous amounts are stored in one area, it becomes tougher for the one who manages the storage area to maintain optimum values for all parameters. It also becomes difficult to identify whether the food inside a compartment is fresh or rotten. To help this scenario, this study aims the development an Internet of Things (IoT) system which is capable of monitoring the necessary parameters. This system consists of sensors, a controller, and software. The sensors are directly linked to the food materials that need to be monitored. The nodeMCU module receives and processes the data collected from the sensors. The information gathered is sent to the Blynk mobile application. The collected data is then analyzed or compared to the parameter threshold values.

“…Concerning the marine ecosystem, preventive strategies, i.e., the reduction in the inflow of plastics to the marine environment [8], are the most effective mitigation strategies. To this end, political interventions focused on single-use plastics [9] or recyclable packaging [10] are of primary importance. The Chinese government, for instance, enacted a ban on using multiple single-use plastics and non-degradable food containers [9].…”

In this paper, we deal with the renowned problem of plastic pollution caused by food consumption and its conservation. Specifically, we consider the producer/reseller decision problem of industrial organizations in conditions of perfect competition within small oligopoly clusters. Indeed, very often, one major sustainability problem is that the presence of direct competitors in the same market determines entrepreneurship choices which lower production costs and packaging costs at the expense of the environment and public health. For this purpose, in order to show economic scenarios in which the respect and preservation of the environment and natural resources are quantitatively compatible with profits and economic growth, we present a provisional coopetitive model of the strategic interaction of two food enterprises, in direct duopoly competition, through investments in sustainable-packaging technologies. The macroeconomic goal is to propose possible actions to reduce carbon footprints and the inflow of plastics to the marine environment, following the environmental targets established by the United Nations, also in the presence of direct perfect oligopolistic competition in the same market. From a microeconomic point of view, we assume the existence of two competitors selling a very similar type of food in the same market; therefore, within a competitive interaction, we adopt a classic “Cournot duopoly” core upon which we define a parametric game, namely, a coopetitive game, together with its possible dynamical scenarios and solutions. We should notice that beyond the parameter arising from the cooperation construct, we introduce a matrix of stochastic variables, which we can also consider as the state of the world. Moreover, we numerically examine one possible state of the world to exemplify our model proposal. We determine, analytically and graphically, the optimal investment in the cooperative strategy, the purely coopetitive solution and some super-cooperative solutions. The cooperative strategy represents the common investment chosen to acquire advanced green technologies for innovative packaging, while the fourth component of any solution in the strategy space represents the state of the world at the end of the coopetitive process in which, finally, we can see the profits and costs deriving from the adoption of the green technologies.

“…Mass use of single-use plastic products has been a worldwide problem and induced serious environmental, social, and economic problems (United Nations Environment Programme 2019 ). Takeaway food package is one of the main sources of single-use plastics (Gallego-Schmid et al 2019 ; Li et al 2021 ). In 2020, the takeaway food industry of China generated 1.6 million tons of plastic waste, accounting for 3% of all waste plastic in municipal solid waste (Zhang and Wen 2022 ).…”
