The use of conventional polymeric packaging materials obtained from
non-renewable sources represents an important environmental impact
and waste generation after their use. Biopolymers have received an
increased interest lately due to more environmentally aware
consumers, increased price of crude oil and global warming. These
polymers are naturally occurring polymers that are found in all
living organisms and they fulfil all the environmental concerns
(renewable raw materials and relatively good biodegradability). As
a result their use will have a less negative effect on our
environment compared to petroleum based materials, but they show
some limitations in terms of performance (thermal resistance,
barrier and mechanical properties) as well as associated costs.
