Bio-Based Packaging Bio-Based Packaging An authoritative and
up-to-date review of sustainable packaging development and
applications Bio-Based Packaging explores using renewable and
biodegradable materials as sustainable alternatives to
non-renewable, petroleum-based packaging. This comprehensive volume
surveys the properties of biopolymers, the environmental and
economic impact of bio-based packaging, and new and emerging
technologies that are increasing the number of potential
applications of green materials in the packaging industry.
Contributions address the advantages and challenges of bio-based
packaging, discuss new materials to be used for food packaging, and
highlight cutting-edge research on polymers such as starch,
protein, polylactic acid (PLA), pectin, nanocellulose, and their
nanocomposites. In-depth yet accessible chapters provide balanced
coverage of a broad range of practical topics, including life cycle
assessment (LCA) of bio-based packaging products, consumer
perceptions and preferences, supply chains, business strategies and
markets in biodegradable food packaging, manufacturing of bio-based
packaging materials, and regulations for food packaging materials.
Detailed discussions provide valuable insight into the
opportunities for biopolymers in end-use sectors, the barriers to
biopolymer-based concepts in the packaging market, recent advances
made in the field of biopolymeric composite materials, the future
of bio-plastics in commercial food packaging, and more. This book:
Provides deep coverage of the bio-based packaging development,
characterization, regulations and environmental and socio-economic
impact Contains real-world case studies of bio-based packaging
applications Includes an overview of recent advances and emerging
aspects of nanotechnology for development of sustainable composites
for packaging Discusses renewable sources for packaging material
and the reuse and recycling of bio-based packaging products
Bio-Based Packaging is essential reading for academics,
researchers, and industry professionals working in packaging
materials, renewable resources, sustainability, polymerization
technology, food technology, material engineering, and related
fields. For more information on the Wiley Series in Renewable
