Foods, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(5), P. 1057 - 1057

Published: March 2, 2023

Food loss and waste occur for many reasons, from crop processing to household leftovers. Even though some generation is unavoidable, a considerable amount due supply chain inefficiencies damage during transport handling. Packaging design materials innovations represent real opportunities reduce food within the chain. Besides, changes in people's lifestyles have increased demand high-quality, fresh, minimally processed, ready-to-eat products with extended shelf-life, that need meet strict constantly renewed safety regulations. In this regard, accurate monitoring of quality spoilage necessary diminish both health hazards waste. Thus, work provides an overview most recent advances investigation development packaging aim improve sustainability. Enhanced barrier surface properties as well active conservation are reviewed. Likewise, function, importance, current availability, future trends intelligent smart systems presented, especially considering biobased sensor by 3D printing technology. addition, driving factors affecting fully production discussed, byproducts minimization revalorization, recyclability, biodegradability, other possible ends-of-life their impact on product/package system

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling: A review

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 9, P. 100673 - 100673

Published: Feb. 23, 2024

It is difficult to reuse wastes from polymers due the mismatch between amount of contaminants and secondary quality feed. This type operation much more expensive cost-effective than production polymer raw materials latest materials. However, recyclable beneficial if used extensively in various concrete products wood-polymer boards. done only cleaning sorting are not particularly important for products. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) a widely industries its excellent physical chemical properties. Besides, increasing use PET has led global crisis waste management, as improper disposal caused significant environmental damage. major source accumulated landfills, address this issue, recycling methods have evolved. In regard, present review examines techniques involved PET. Conventional influence diverse depolymerization reaction variables were discussed, upsides downsides each technique considered. The summarizes advances technologies plastic waste, focusing on bio-recycling PET, aiming sustainable, economical solutions circular economy.

A Review on Biopolymer-Based Biodegradable Film for Food Packaging: Trends over the Last Decade and Future Research

Polymers, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(13), P. 2781 - 2781

Published: June 22, 2023

In recent years, much attention has been paid to the use of biopolymers as food packaging materials due their important characteristics and properties. These include non-toxicity, ease availability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, indicating potential an alternative conventional plastic that long under environmental scrutiny. Given current focus on sustainable development, it is imperative develop studies eco-friendly materials. Therefore, aim this review explore trends biopolymer-based biodegradable films for packaging, analyze contribution various journals cooperation between countries, highlight most influential authors articles, provide overview social, environmental, economic aspects packaging.

Polymers Use as Mulch Films in Agriculture—A Review of History, Problems and Current Trends

Polymers, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(23), P. 5062 - 5062

Published: Nov. 22, 2022

The application of mulch films for preserving soil moisture and preventing weed growth has been a part agricultural practice decades. Different materials have used as films, but polyethylene plastic considered most effective due to its excellent mechanical strength, low cost ability act barrier sunlight water. However, use carries risk pollution health hazards, hence new laws passed replace it completely with other over the next few years. Research find out about biodegradable polymers this purpose gained impetus in past years, driven by regulations United Nations Organization’s Sustainable Development Goals. primary requisite these is biodegradability under natural climatic conditions without production any toxic residual compounds. Therefore, developed from fossil fuels, microorganisms, animals plants are viable options using mulching material. solution not simple since each polymer different properties compromise be made terms film. This review discusses history materials, gradual evolution choice process biodegradation regarding material used, types that can explored potential future prospects area.

Bioplastic: an eco‐friendly alternative to non‐biodegradable plastic

Polymer International, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 72(11), P. 984 - 996

Published: June 15, 2023

Abstract The accumulation of non‐biodegradable plastic waste in land and aquatic environments is expanding every day. According to data collected from various scientific reports, about 100–250 megatonnes arrives the oceans annually. Central Control Board India (2019–2020), produces 3.5 million metric tonnes annually, while only 5–10% produced recycled. non‐recycled dumped into environment either goes landfills or directly sea, which disrupts marine life ocean. We are highly dependent on at household industrial scales. Removal lowering use hazardous plastics main challenges. Researchers industrialists have come up with many ideas lower generation found that reusability easier than degradability, bioplastics ultimate solution tackle problem. Hence, developing eco‐friendly alternative without compromising physicochemical mechanical properties need hour. An conventional petrochemical bioplastics, environmentally safe, reduce our dependency fossil reserves. Therefore, this review focuses as an efficient plastics. Among renewable sustainable feedstocks available, vegetable oils most suitable resource for bioplastic production because their renewability economical nature. study concluded polyurethane‐based polymers inherently more other © 2023 Society Industrial Chemistry.
