Abstract:

Compostable films for such uses as packaging and agricultural soil covering materials were first produced on commercial scale from blends of biodegradable polyesters and a modified kraft lignin. The lignin consisted of an industrial product isolated according to the LignoBoost process. The lignin modification involved homogeneous phase reaction with propylene oxide, and the films were melt-blown from a pelletized compound consisting of up to a 30% blend of lignin derivative with commercial biodegradable polyester. The 12–93 μm thick films combined the characteristics of lignin as modulus-build

Abstract:

<p>Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has gained considerable attention as an interesting biobased and biodegradable polymer for film for food packaging applications, due to its many advantages such as biobased nature, high transparency and inherent biodegradable/compostable character. With the dual objective to improve PLA processing performance and to obtain flexible materials, plasticizer are use as strategy for extending PLA applications as compostable film for food packaging applications. Several plasticizers (i.e.: citrate esters, polyethylene glycol (PEG), oligomeric lactic acid (OLA), etc.)

This research analyzed the printability of compostable films commercialized in the Thai market such as PLA/PBAT and PBAT/starch; and to comply with EN 13432 standard by using flexographic water based ink. A narrow web flexographic printing press was set up and opperated. Print quality parameters such as optical density, tone reproduction, print contrast and print uniformity were investigated. Results showed that these compostable films were hydrophobic in nature, in combination with fracture and voids of substrates’ surface.

Abstract:

Different degradable plastics have been promoted as a solution for the accumulation of waste in landfills and the natural environment; in Mexico, the most popular options are oxo-degradable, which degrade in a sequential abiotic–biotic process, and compostable plastics. In this research, high-density polyethylene, oxo-degradable high-density polyethylene, and certified compostable plastic were exposed to simulated landfill conditions in an 854-day-long experiment to assess their degradation. High-density polyethylene showed limited degradation, due mainly to surface erosion, evidenced by a 13%

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess testing parameters for measurement of water vapour permeability (WVP) properties of bovine gelatin films by ASTM F1249. This method utilises an infrared sensor to determine the WVP of conventional plastic-based films and has been widely applied within the packaging industry, but has had very limited application with hydrophilic compostable/edible packaging materials. These films have low WVP properties with highly variable WVP values (as studied by ASTM E96); consequently, this parameter has to be carefully controlled. Assessment of the module was carrie

Abstract:

Abstract One of the routes to minimize the environmental impact of plastics waste is the use of bio-sourced and biodegradable alternatives, particularly for packaging applications. Although Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are attractive candidates for food packaging, they have poor processability, particularly for extrusion film blowing. Thus, one relatively successful alternative has been blending PHA with a biodegradable polymer. This work proposes film blowing of a co-extruded Poly (hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) layer with a poly butylene adipateco- terephtalate (PBAT) layer to enhance bubble stabilit

Abstract:

The increase of consumer demand for using natural products and reducing the use of non-compostable packaging materials have encouraged research on biodegradable polymers including natural components such as essential oils. Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) has active properties such as antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The aim of this study was to prepare active polycaprolactone (PCL) films by using PSO. PCL films including PSO emulsions (5-30%), which were stabilized with nanocellulose (NC) particles, were prepared by casting method. The physical and active properties of PCL films were deter

Abstract:

Nowadays, we can choose a carrier bag made of traditional LDPE or a biodegradable polymer to pack vegetables, bakery products, and other products in more and more shops. However, the customers and the selective waste collection system are not yet prepared for the separate collection of compostable biopolymers. Therefore, they are mixed in the plastic waste stream. Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyze the mechanical and optical properties, and the compostability of different low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) compounds.

Abstract:

Bio-based plastics made of food-safe compostable materials, such as thermoplastic starch (TPS), can be designed into films that have potential to replace many non-biodegradable single-use plastic (SUP) items. TPS film characteristics, such as elongation at break and tensile strength, are largely affected by the choice of the plasticizers used in formulation. Our work identifies the mechanical properties and the chemical structural differences between TPS films made with two different plasticizer mixtures that have not yet been compared alongside one another: deep eutectic solvent choline chlor

Abstract:

The huge amount of synthetic plastics are used in the packaging area, especially in food packaging, because there have great effects in the environmental and alternative, more ecologic materials are being required. Poly-lactic acid (PLA) is one of the most significant biodegradable thermoplastic polymers. It is compostable and made it from renewable sources. The mechanical and optical property of PLA is very similar to the Polyethylene, but is more fragile, less heat-resistant and offer low resistance to oxygen permeation. In this work, two commercial PLA foils and one commercial PET foil prop

Abstract:

In an organic circular economy, biodegradable materials can be used as food packaging, and at end-of-life their carbon atoms can be recovered for soil enrichment after composting, so that new food or materials can be produced. Packaging functionality, such as mechanical, gas barrier, and heat-seal performance, of emerging biodegradable packaging, with a laminated, coated, monomaterial, and/or blended structure, is not yet well known in the food industry. This lack of knowledge, in addition to end-of-life concerns, high cost, and production limits is one of the main bottlenecks for broad implem

Abstract:

This study explores the degradation rates of various biodegradable materials and their impact on soil and water quality under both laboratory and field conditions. The materials examined include polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), starch-based plastics, cellulose-based films, and compostable plastics. Results show significant variation in degradation rates, with cellulose-based films and starch-based plastics exhibiting the fastest degradation, while PLA degraded the slowest, particularly in aquatic environments. In soil, the degradation of biodegradable materials led to increa

AbstractThe accumulation of synthetic plastics used in packaging applications in landfills and the environment is a serious problem. This challenge is driving research efforts to develop biodegradable, compostable, or recyclable barrier materials derived from renewable sources.

Abstract:

The introduction of a limited number of functional groups on poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) chains by covalent bonding can impart new properties to the polymer without modifying its thermal and mechanical properties. In pursuit of a viable approach to obtain light- and heat-stabilized PBS samples, the nitroxide radical coupling (NRC) reaction between PBS macroradicals and the 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (BHB-TEMPO), a functionalizing agent bearing a sterically-hindered antioxidant phenol moiety, is here proposed.

In this work, films of polylactide (PLA) prepared by extrusion and thermo-compression were plasticized with oligomer of lactic acid (OLA) at contents of 5, 10, and 20 wt%. The PLA sample containing 20 wt% of OLA was also reinforced with 3, 6, and 9 parts per hundred resin (phr) of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) to increase the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the films. Prior to melt mixing, ultrasound-assisted dispersion of the nanoclays in OLA was carried out at 100 °C to promote the HNTs dispersion in PLA and the resultant films were characterized with the aim to ascertain their po
