SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

Over the past 20 years, many results have been achieved in the study of bio-based materials for food packaging application. Despite that, many of the studied materials remained at the laboratory scale due to several reasons. First of all, the higher cost is compared with synthetic polymers derived from petroleum resources. It is obvious that if the production capacity increases, the costs can fall down. One possibility will be to substitute the production of raw materials with biofuels. The second reason is related to the material performances.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF PACKAGING

03 Mar 2023
Komal Sharma

The concern about the effect of packaging on the environment derives from their relatively high percentage of household waste. This, however, indicates rather the level of consumption than excessive packaging. Packages are made to deliver the product to the consumer; hence, they cannot be viewed separately, either from the product or from consumption. Increasing amounts of packages in the waste stream only indicates increasing consumption. Packaging is strongly influenced by social desires, political preferences, and regulatory and economical effects.
