National Research Centre (NRC, http://www.nrc.sci.eg ) is a nonprofit research organization, has made significant progress in the different fields of science; it is ranked the top among the scientific centres in Egypt. It is the largest multidisciplinary R&D centre in Egypt and North Africa devoted to basic and applied research within the major fields of science, agriculture, environment, biology, chemistry, medicine, pharmaceutical, engineering and energy in order to cover and develop the production and service sectors. It got ISO 9001 in 2016 and many labs had ISO/IEC 17025. The NRC has been involved with diverse national and international research collaborations, the international cooperation extends to different parts of the world, USA, Europe, Russia and MENA region. The NRC mission is to conduct basic and applied sciences within the major fields of interest in order to contribute for achieving sustainable development in the production and service sectors. One of the major fields in NRC is packaging materials, which has great interest and experiences in supporting Sustainable Development through applied research, as a vital system for producing healthy food and reducing environmental pollution. Which has made many contributions in the field of rural development in many rural areas of Egypt and introduced many benefits to the farmers and residents of rural areas, to help them raise their economic levels and improve the culture, social and economic levels. Food industry field in NRC is a superpower which plays an important role between the agriculture sector and the industries sector promoting cooperative research among agricultural scientists on both national and international bases. The biochemistry and pharmaceutical fields concern basic and semi-applied research in the field of drug discovery from natural sources. Develop the ways of separating and identifying the effective chemical ingredients, introduce new environmental green technology in the field of extractions. Isolate, purify and identify the different natural compounds with biological efficacy from their natural sources. We believe that our packing, food and juices industries urgently need support, cooperation and corroboration to valorise the waste, improve production and extraction processes, products and reduce the environmental pollution
