Modelling, validation and LCA of emerging bioplastic lidding film
, 2021 The economic and environmental impacts of food often outweigh those of the packaging it comes in. Therefore, food quality and shelf life must be considered when designing sustainable packaging to avoid increases in food waste. Although multilayer lidding

Journal of Environmental Management, 2022 The use of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae in the treatment of biowaste, including food waste, represents a promising new treatment option. In line with an increasing use of starch-based bioplastics in food packaging, (e.g. shopper films), food waste contamination by these polymers is expected to rise, but the fate of these materials and impact produced

Green Additives in Chitosan‐Based Bioplastic Films: Physical, Mechanical, and Chemical Properties
ChemSusChem, 2023 AbstractTo switch to alternatives for fossil‐fuel‐based polymer materials, renewable raw materials from green resources should be utilized. Chitosan is such a material that is a strong, but workable derivative from chitin, obtained from crustaceans. However, various applications ask for specific plastic properties, such as certain flexibility, hardness
