A review on nanocellulosic fibres as new material for sustainable packaging: Process and applications (2016, background): “However there are some apprehensions related to these methods like during incineration of non-biodegradable packaging materials greenhouse gases generated which pose a threat to our health and environment [1,2].”
Effect of Bio-Based Products on Waste Management (2020, background): “Some bio-based materials differ from synthetic polymers, in that they can be decomposed by bacteria, fungi, or other organisms into natural metabolic products [7].”
Production of biodegradable plastic from agricultural wastes (2015, background): “Therefore, biodegradable polymers can make signiﬁcant contributions to material recovery, reduction of landﬁll and utilization of renewable resources (Davis and Song, 2006).”
Polymer Biodegradation and Biodegradable Polymers - a Review (2010, neutral): “In the UK, the proportion of food that is unfit for consumption before it reaches the consumer is 2%, whereas in developing countries, where packaging is not as widespread, this loss can be in excess of 40% [75-78].”
Physical, chemical and surface properties of wheat husk, rye husk and soft wood and their polypropylene composites (2010, background): “It can also be pointed out that the development of biodegradable packaging materials from renewable natural resources has received widespread government support in the EU countries and many national or international organisations have been established to facilitate the development in this area [23].”
Production of nanocrystalline cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass: technology and applications. (2013, background): “A special field is packaging; in this sector, the increasing demand for safe and minimally processed materials makes attractive fully biobased nanocomposites (Davis & Song, 2006).”
Recent progress in biodegradable polymers and nanocomposite-based packaging materials for sustainable environment (2018, background): “However, they are recommended for home system and commercial composting.([78])”
Sustainability of bioplastics: Opportunities and challenges (2018, background): “The decrease in the availability gasoline and diesel due to the increase in cost increases the scarcity of resources promotes the need for alternative methods of creating bioplastic [16].”
Barley husk and coconut shell reinforced polypropylene composites: The effect of fibre physical, chemical and surface properties (2010, background): “Apart from composite materials, the particleboards from agro by-product could be another potential alternative [17,18].”
An Overview of Plastic Waste Generation and Management in Food Packaging Industries (2021, background): “lems in sorting, recycling and reuse [8,25,74].”
Bioplastics and Petroleum-based Plastics: Strengths and Weaknesses (2011, background): “As reported by Davis and Song (2006), the most favorable final disposition, from an environmental point of view, for a bioplastics is represented by the composting process that transforms, by a biodegradation process, the disposed product into a soillike substance called humus, CO2, water, and…”
Biodegradable and compostable alternatives to conventional plastics (2009, neutral): “(b) Incineration with energy recovery Most commodity plastics have gross calorific values (GCV) comparable to or higher than that of coal (Davis & Song 2006).”
