Biodegradability of bio-flour filled biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) bio-composites in natural and compost soil (2006, background): “However, the annual worldwide disposal of approximately 150 million tons of petrochemical plastics in commonly used commodities suchas polyolefin inpacking,bottle andmouldingproducts is a significant environmental problem, especially with the continuously increasing production and consumption of the”
Environmental friendly food nano-packaging (2017, background): “Polycaprolactone is also interesting for applications in the biomedical (Chandra and Rustgi 1998; Okada 2002; Nair and Laurencin 2007) and agricultural areas (Nakayama et al. 1997).”
Mechanical properties and water vapor transmission in some blends of cassava starch edible films (2004, background): “Therefore, the use of agricultural biopolymers that are easily biodegradable not only would solve these problems, but would also provide a potential new use for surplus farm production (Okada, 2002; Pavlath & Robertson, 1999; Scott, 2000).”
