The book focuses on the development of affordable, innovative, sustainable packaging products made from biopolymers and biocomposites derived from agricultural waste/biomass and how they that result in improved shelf-life performance. In addition, it explores how these affordable packaging products can reduce food loss across the supply chain, the future direction of setting-up platforms for broader uses, and how these products can also contribute to minimizing waste-to-landfill problems.
- Focuses on the application and use of non-exploited cheap agricultural waste for food packaging applications
- Contains information on the modeling and processing of biopolymers and biocomposites to predict thermal and mechanical behavior
- Features a discussion of coatings on packaging products to enhance shelf life
