Photothermal controlled antibacterial Ta4C3Tx-AgNPs/nanocellulose bioplastic food packaging.

Food Chemistry
Uncontrolled antibacterial, insufficient barrier and low strength are the bottlenecks of food packaging applications. Herein, Ta4C3Tx nanosheet as a template was used to prepare Ta4C3Tx immobilized silver nanoparticles (Ta4C3Tx-AgNPs), which was ...

Narrowing the gap for bioplastic use in food packaging-an update.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
Plastic production has outgrown most other man-made materials, with more than 90% being petroleum-based and non-biodegradable. Packaging, primarily food packaging, consumes the most plastic and is the largest contributor to municipal solid waste.

Exploring the advantages and limitations of degradation for various biodegradable micro-bioplastic in aquatic environments.

Journal of Environmental Management
Biodegradable plastics are being the substitute for synthetic plastics and widely been used in order to combat plastic pollution. Yet not all biodegradable plastics are degradable especially when it does not meet its favourable conditions, and also when ...

Bioplastic, Biodegradability of Bioplastic and its Applications: A Review

Global Agronomy Research Journal
Bioplastics offer a promising solution, made from renewable materials that reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions. They're also less toxic and free from harmful chemicals like Bisphenol A (BPA). Biodegradable plastics can be fully broken down by microorganisms into water, carbon dioxide, and compost, while compostable ...
