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.

Biodegradable polymers complement recyclable materials in battling plastic waste because some products are difficult to recycle and will end up the environment either of their application or due wear products. Natural biopolymers, such as cellulose, inherently biodegradable, but chemical modification typically required for obtainment thermoplastic properties, solubility, other desired material properties can hinder even prevent biodegradation process. This Review summarizes current knowledge on degradation common cellulose derivatives different laboratory, natural, man-made environments. Depending environment, be solely a combination several processes, enzymatic hydrolysis, photodegradation, oxidation. It is clear that type especially degree substitution important factors controlling process with environment. The big variation conditions environments also briefly considered well importance proper testing characterization process, confirmation biodegradability. To ensure full sustainability new under development, expected end-of-life scenario, whether recycling "biological" recycling, should included an design parameter.

Abstract The global food processing industries represent a challenge and risk to the environment due poor handling of residues, which are often discarded as waste without being used in further sidestreams. Although some part this biomass is utilized, large quantities are, however, still under‐ or unutilized despite these byproducts rich resource valuable compounds. These biowastes contain biopolymers other compounds such proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, pigments, micronutrients, minerals with good nutritional values active biological properties applications various fields including development sustainable packaging. This review offers an update on recent advancement recycling upgrading toward production packaging materials, could be edible, (bio)degradable, act carriers biobased agents antimicrobials, antioxidants, flavoring additives, health‐promoting should initiative promote well‐being humans achieve sustainability while respecting ecological boundaries our planet. Edible films coatings formulations based extracted from offer great opportunities decrease devastating overuse plastic‐based It has become evident that transition fuel‐based circular bio‐based economy potentially beneficial. Therefore, exploitation discards within context zero‐waste biorefinery approach would improve management by minimizing its generation, reduce pollution, provide value‐added Most importantly, edible materials does not compete resources, it also helps dependency petroleum‐based products.

Today, the scientific community is facing crucial challenges in delivering a healthier world for future generations. Among these, quest circular and sustainable approaches plastic recycling one of most demanding several reasons. Indeed, massive use materials over last century has generated large amounts long-lasting waste, which, much time, not been object adequate recovery disposal politics. Most this waste by packaging materials. Nevertheless, decade, new trend imposed environmental concerns brought topic under magnifying glass, as testified increasing number related publications. Several methods have proposed polymeric based on chemical or mechanical methods. A panorama promising studies to polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS) given within review.

The concept of circular economy has been ubiquitous over the past five years and steadily gaining a consensus as new paradigm. Circular covers wide spectrum topics ranging from waste management, through materials to supply chain, amongst which packaging is an essential part for achieving truly economy. It emphasised that resources should be kept in closed loops, thereby generating zero waste. However, largely due nature designated usage, industry built on linear model where designed, produced, consumed disposed of. This creates substantial amount waste, now growing concern earth ecosystem. To enable smooth transition system, design recognised fundamental stepping-stone towards In this study, extensive literature review performed, investigating body research relation paper reviews state-of-the-art design, including rules, guidelines, considerations tools can applied process A framework then proposed, summarising findings showing (i) factors determine material selection, (ii) strategies, guidelines taken into account conceptual development phases, (iii) indicators assist validation assessment circularity. Finally, future trends various aspects facilitate recycling, tools, education policy making are discussed.
