<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book focuses on biobased packaging materials as potential green materials to address environmental pollution from non-biodegradable packaging materials and reduce the dependency on petroleum-based packaging plastics for better sustainability. Divided into three sections, this book provides comprehensive coverage of biobased packaging materials. The first section of the book covers development and characterization, discussing different biobased materials, their preparation techniques and functional properties. Part two addresses environmental considerations surrounding the use of biobased packaging; while the third section considers the current market opportunities and challenges of biobased packaging materials as well as future market prospects. Topics covered include: Starch-based and protein-based packaging materials Chitin/chitosan based films for packaging applications ]Pectin based edible films for food packaging Nanocellulose composite films ]Poly(lactic) acid modified films and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) films for food packaging Manufacturing of biobased packaging materials ]Environmental advantages of biobased packaging materials Reuse and recycling of biobased packaging products Life Cycle Assessment Socio-economic impact, challenges and opportunities Current market for biobased packaging materials Regulations for food packaging materials"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Bio-Based Packaging</b> <p><b>Bio-Based Packaging</b><p><b>An authoritative and up-to-date review of sustainable packaging development and applications</b><p><i>Bio-Based Packaging</i> explores using renewable and biodegradable materials as sustainable alternatives to non-renewable, petroleum-based packaging. This comprehensive volume surveys the properties of biopolymers, the environmental and economic impact of bio-based packaging, and new and emerging technologies that are increasing the number of potential applications of green materials in the packaging industry. Contributions address the advantages and challenges of bio-based packaging, discuss new materials to be used for food packaging, and highlight cutting-edge research on polymers such as starch, protein, polylactic acid (PLA), pectin, nanocellulose, and their nanocomposites.<p>In-depth yet accessible chapters provide balanced coverage of a broad range of practical topics, including life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based packaging products, consumer perceptions and preferences, supply chains, business strategies and markets in biodegradable food packaging, manufacturing of bio-based packaging materials, and regulations for food packaging materials. Detailed discussions provide valuable insight into the opportunities for biopolymers in end-use sectors, the barriers to biopolymer-based concepts in the packaging market, recent advances made in the field of biopolymeric composite materials, the future of bio-plastics in commercial food packaging, and more.
