Developments And Properties Of Plastic Mimicking Biopolymers For Food Packaging Application, Daniel I. Hefft
Journal of Applied Packaging Research
Sustainability takes an ever increasing importance in the food industry. Here not only the selection of raw materials plays a role, but also packaging materials. Nowadays there is an increasing number of biodegradable and bio-compostable packaging materials available.
However, these materials are still not able to replace mineral oil based packaging materials completely, nevertheless they are becoming increasingly important, since there must be solutions to problems such as pollution of the oceans by plastic waste, growing piles of rubbish from growing population, etc.
The following literature review shows briefly recent developments on plastic mimicking biopolymers, as these materials guarantee great …
