Food waste and food by-products have gained considerable attention in recent years. Based on the principles of circular economy, these materials can be used for preparation novel biodegradable packaging preservation. Among matrices that been well exploited, poly-lactic acid (PLA) comprises a key material to fortified with by-products, as shown by numerous studies literature. In this context, aim present review was provide an overview literature most trends use PLA prepare films shelf-life extension foods animal or plant origin. The results showed origin has greatly expanded last 20 application led stability. However, there is still gap specific origin, such peels, seeds, gels (i.e., onion grape seed extract, pomace, prickly pear cladode gel) whey, collagen, gelatin), PLA-based films. review, which thematic issue ongoing doctoral study, examines challenges regard topic not extensively studied.

In this research, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanocomposites with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were produced by extrusion, injection, and compression molding, focusing on electromagnetic shielding. Various amounts of (MWCNTs) tested in PLA matrix, specifically ranging from 1 to 4 parts per hundred resin (phr). The resulting analyzed before after undergoing annealing heat treatment. It was observed that as the MWCNT content increased, melt flow index decreased. This reduction indicates effectively accommodated into chain. PLA/MWCNT (2 phr) formulation presented greatest balance properties, potential for shielding application. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated incorporating 2 phr promoted good distribution, favoring high electrical conductivity between 20–22 dB (8.2–18 GHz), corresponding approximately 99% attenuation. Furthermore, its such elastic modulus (3156 MPa), tensile strength (65.1 hardness (77.8 Shore D), deflection temperature (55.3 °C), increased compared pure PLA. After annealing, nanocomposite underwent a molecular reordering, an crystalline fraction, confirmed X-ray diffraction (XRD). However, maintained same order magnitude, while varied 19.7 20 dB. results indicate these are promising applications can be manufactured molten state.

The design of composites offers extensive opportunities for controlling parameters and utilizing diverse materials, including those sourced from recycling or waste streams. In this study, biocomposites were developed using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pomace derived oilseed plants such as evening primrose, gold pleasure, rapeseed, sunflower seeds, mixed in a 1:1 ratio. These evaluated their structural, mechanical, morphological, thermal properties, well vulnerability to overgrowth by cellulolytic fungi. results indicate that incorporating plant into HDPE reduces stability while increasing water absorption thickness swelling. Additionally, the showed enhanced fungal growth, which may improve biodegradability. Notably, PE_EP composite, primrose pomace, did not show significant differences surface roughness MOE compared pure polyethylene. case PE_R an increase was observed maintaining MOR parameter PE. Although generally mechanical properties lower polyethylene, findings suggest with further optimization, oil can be valuable raw material producing suitable various industrial applications, thereby contributing sustainability effective recycling.
