- IBM Research and Nestlé R&D have co-developed an AI-powered tool to identify novel, high-barrier packaging materials that enhance product protection and sustainability.
- The technology uses a custom-trained chemical language model and regression transformer to design materials that meet safety, functionality, cost, and recyclability criteria.
- Nestlé will integrate this innovation into its packaging pipeline, alongside broader AI applications in recipe optimization, manufacturing efficiency, and personalized nutrition.
IBM Research and Nestlé R&D have partnered to leverage artificial intelligence and deep tech to accelerate the discovery of sustainable packaging solutions. The collaboration has produced a generative AI tool capable of identifying new high-barrier packaging materials that protect products from moisture,
