Biodegradable materials for food packaging
Keywords:
packaging, biodegradable materials, renewable materials.Abstract
Shortage of resources in society today, the resources available for human use has become increasingly scarce. To packaging, for example, most packaging products are single-use, and turn to waste after use, and the product life cycle of them are very short, so consuming large number of resources consumed, in the same time, the ecological environment has also been an unprecedented threat. Recently, the demands for biodegradable and renewable materials for packaging applications have increased tremendously. This rise in demand is connected to the growing environmental concerns over the extensive use of synthetic and non-biodegradable polymeric packaging, polyethylene in particular. Today’s smart consumer is looking for alternatives that are environmentally friendly, durable, recyclable, and naturally rather than synthetically derived. Therefore, the purpose of this article will be to focus on biodegradable and environmentally friendly packaging materials, their advantages and disadvantages.
