Purpose: The paper aims to develop the framework for decision support systems in the food supply chain using innovative designs for communicative packages to obtain a better sustainability by less waste, optimal logistics and biobased packaging.

Methodology/approach: Based on literature reviews and designs of new devices experimental work, simulating the supply chain, has been carried out. Also interviews with stakeholders and consumers have been worked out.

Findings: A food supply chain model model has been developed for waste reduction up to 20% using the First Expired First Out concept in a advanced way. To apply this model new technologies for labeling the food packages have been designed, using an integrated temperature sensor and a printed electronic display. Life cycle assesment shows no effect of the label on the sustainability. Interviews and new designs for labels with printed electronics give new directions in optimising the supply chain and the sustainability in this chain.

Practical implementations: A case for the supply chain of pork meat packages has been worked out.

Originality/value: In the paper innovatieve concepts for the food supply chain are described.
