...Giselen Cristina Pascotto Wittmann; Giovanna Moura Silva; Rondes Ferreira da Silva Torin; Silvia Pierre Irazusta Polymeric films are widely used in processed-food packaging to preserve products and extend shelf life. Fossil-based polymers dominate the market due to low cost and favorable properties...

... products, despite its significant antioxidant and antibacterial properties, UV protection, and potential as a sustainable material for food packaging. This study investigated the effects of BL, extraction, and isolation techniques on lignin production. Lignins were isolated using acid precipitation...

...Shalini Bartwal, MBA; Ashish Matura, PhD; Rajeev Kumar, PhD; Himanshu Malhotra, MBA Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the third most commonly used thermoplastic in post-consumer plastic packaging. The growing popularity of PET bottles, valued for their durability, recyclability, and cost...

... mechanical properties packaging storage Alginate, iota-carrageenan and VCO nanoemulsion were mixed according to the experimental design and added to 96% distilled water and 1% glycerol to make a total mixture of 100%. The mixture was then stirred at 300 rpm for 10 min. The edible coating solution...

...Merve Mocan; Sinan Barış Uncu Biodegradable plastics can help tackle plastic packaging waste, which has serious consequences on the environment. However, current bio-based materials often lack strength, have poor thermal and barrier properties and are expensive. This study proposes a solution...

... formulation to produce boron nitride–incorporated composite PLA films with proper properties, holding potential to be used as an alternative biodegradable material for sustainable packaging of foods to replace petroleum-based materials. Today, polymers derived from plastic materials are extensively...

...Murtaza Haider Syed; Md Maksudur Rahman Khan; Mior Ahmad Khushairi Mohd Zahari; Mohammad Dalour Hossen Beg; Norhayati Abdullah The food industry is considered one of the main contributors to plastic waste due to packaging. Sustainable and degradable packaging solutions are the need of the hour...

...Jinbao Zheng, BSc; Chen Li, PhD; Shan Gao, PhD Foamed plastics do not readily degrade, but degradable starch foam has uneven pores and poor mechanical properties. To improve the cushioning performance of starch foams, a sustainable starch-based packaging cushioning material is prepared through...
