Thermoplastic starch as packaging material

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Technica Agraria, 2006
Attempts to reduce net CO2 emission and to increase the use of sustainable materials pose great challenges at the interface of chemical engineering and agricultural engineering. One of the products involved is thermoplastic starch that can partly substitute synthetic plastics, amongst others in packaging.

Biopolymer‐Coated Paper Composites for Sustainable Packaging

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional plastic packaging, though dominant in food and flexible applications, poses serious environmental concerns due to its persistence and limited recyclability. To address this challenge, this study develops bio‐based coated paper composites as sustainable alternatives. Paper, while biodegradable, lacks adequate barrier properties. To
