The current transition to sustainability and the circular economy can be viewed as a socio-
technical response to environmental impacts and the need to enhance the overall …

The growing concern about environmental damage and the inability to meet the demand for
more versatile, environmentally friendly materials has sparked increasing interest in polymer …

Antimicrobial active packaging was limited by the inability to release the antimicrobial
agents at the required location, required time, and required quantity. Hence, it is necessary …

Biopolymers from renewable bio-based resources provide a sustainable alternative to
petroleum-derived plastics, but limitations like brittleness and cost restrict applicability …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a sustainable, bio-based, and industrially compostable polymer
with a recalcitrant abiotic degradation phase, limiting its organic recovery to well-managed …

The loading and delivery of nanomaterials have attracted considerable interest. In this study,
the organic-inorganic hybrid antimicrobial materials of clove essential oil (CEO) intercalated …

Due to their biobased nature and biodegradability, poly (lactic acid)(PLA) rich blends are
promising for processing in the packaging industry. However, pure PLA is brittle and UV …

A definitive screening design was used in order to evaluate the effects of starch, glycerol and
montmorillonite (MMT) concentrations, as well as the drying temperature, drying tray type …

Thermoplastic starch (TPS), a green and fully biodegradable composite, is considered the
most viable option for replacing petroleum-based polymers. However, the poor mechanical …

This paper presents the development of biodegradable and environmentally friendly
packaging films. Active packaging bilayer films were prepared by combining chitosan-fish …
