The present work deals with the development of cellulose-reinforced starch-based bioactive
thermoplastic packaging films, from complete recycling of banana peel waste. The …

The current study focuses on the preparation and characterization of potato starch-based
biocomposite films by reinforcing them with banana fiber. The banana fibers were modified …

An easy and simple approach is developed to fabricate nano‐composite packaging films
from starch molecules reinforced with cellulose nanofibers derived from unripe from banana …

Plastics are the most popular choice for packaging materials due to their strength, flexibility,
and affordability. Their non-biodegradability, however, is an environmental concern and a …

Non-biodegradable petroleum-based plastics are still the most dominant material used by
the food industry for packaging applications. Consequently, the widespread usage of these …

The aim of this study is to develop bioplastic film from a combination of two biopolymers of
same source, namely banana peel and corn starch. Five banana peel films (BP film) were …

This work is directed towards developing biodegradable films from biopolymer that is
sustainable and environmentally friendly particularly tapioca starch (TPS) films. However …

The main aim of the present study is to extract and characterize cashew nut shell (CNS)
starch and walnut shell cellulose (WNC) for development of cellulose reinforced starch films …

The nanocellulose (NC) synthesized from cotton linters was used as a reinforcement to
develop biocomposite films with improved functionality. The starch films incorporated with …

Bio-based and biodegradable packaging are ideal for sustainable polymer packaging. In
this study, cassava starch and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were used as the film-forming matrix …
