Biopolymers and Biocomposites from Agro-Waste for Packaging Applications

Biopolymers and Biocomposites from Agro-Waste for Packaging Applications looks at the utilization of biocomposites and biopolymers for packaging applications. It focuses on the development of affordable, innovative sustainable packaging products that result in improved shelf-life performance produced from biopolymers and biocomposites derived from agricultural wastes/biomass. It looks at how these affordable packaging products can reduce food loss across the supply chain, the future direction of setting-up a platform for other subsequent broader uses, and how these products can also contribute to minimizing waste-to-landfill problems in the environment. Focuses on the application and use of non-exploited cheap agricultural waste for food packaging applicationsContains information on modelling of the processing of biopolymers and biocomposites to predict thermal and mechanical behaviorFeatures coatings on packaging products to enhance shelf life INDICE: 1.
