Production of Starch-Based Flexible Food Packaging in Developing Countries: Analysis of the Processes, Challenges, and Requirements

Foods, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(24), С. 4096 - 4096

Опубликована: Дек. 18, 2024

Biodegradable packaging offers an affordable and sustainable solution to global pollution, particularly in developing countries with limited recycling infrastructure. Starch is well suited develop biodegradable packages for foods due its wide availability simple, low-tech production process. Although the development of starch-based documented, most studies focus on laboratory stages formulation plasticization, leaving gaps understanding key phases such as raw material conditioning, industrial-scale molding, post-production processes, storage. This work evaluates value chain countries. It addresses challenges, equipment, process conditions at each stage, highlighting critical role moisture resistance final product’s functionality. A particular placed replacing single-use plastic packaging, which dominates food industries regions agricultural economies rich biodiversity. comprehensive analysis production, a detailed stage overall process, should contribute more scalable solutions, replacement packages, helping protect vulnerable biodiverse from growing impact waste.

Shaping a federal strategy for chemical recycling: Moving toward sensible applications of emerging technologies in US plastic waste management

Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 43(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Abstract Plastic waste management requires a diverse portfolio of strategies to avoid the most damaging environmental and social impacts plastic lifecycle meet current national international policy goals. The limitations existing mechanical recycling methods for processing have motivated development commercialization chemical processes. novelty diversity such pathways beg critical questions how these emerging technologies will fit within frameworks contribute recycling, pollution, objectives. This work provides technical background into methods, differing modern approaches at various levels governance. Finally, this summarizes key conflicts crafts recommendations future action on in three main areas: (1) defining an objective identifying sensible applications technologies, (2) filling gaps knowledge upholding justice protections, (3) implementing suite policies complement recycling's role strategy.
