Recently, diversifying the material, method, and application in food packaging has been massively developed to find more environment-friendly materials. However, the mechanical and barrier properties of the bioplastics are major hurdles to expansion in commercial realization. The compositional variation with the inclusion of different fillers could resolve the lacking performance of the bioplastic. This review summarizes the various...

Plastics-based materials have a high carbon footprint, and their disposal is a considerable problem for the environment. Biodegradable bioplastics represent an alternative on which most countries have focused their attention to replace of conventional plastics in various sectors, among which food packaging is the most significant one. The evaluation of the optimal end-of-life process for bioplastic waste is of great importance...

W ramach programu Energy and Raw Materials Factory prowadzone są badania nad odzyskiem celulozy oraz biotworzyw. Produkcja biopolimerów oraz bioplastiku ujawnia bowiem niezwykły potencjał obecny w kulturach mikrobiologicznych. Zaczęto także badać odzysk celulozy ze ścieków jako nowe źródła do produkcji kwasu mlekowego, z którego powstają bioplastiki.

Population expansion is causing an increase in dependence on plastic materials. The worst aspects of conventional plastics were their inability to biodegrade, their poor capacity to transmit water vapor, and their production of greenhouse gases. Usages of bioplastics are necessary for the advancement of a green economy and environment in order to eradicate these drawbacks of traditional plastics. In this study, reinforced bioplastic...
