The Use of Biopolymers in Food Packaging

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Biopolymers and their Nanocomposites

Part of the book series: Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials ((MHFNN))

Abstract

From manufacturing, distribution, storage, and consumption phase of any product, packaging materials play vital roles. They are designed to be able to safeguard, contain, and handle products for onward-distribution either as raw materials or ready-to-eat food products. However, current food-packaging innovations are driving toward the use of materials with light in order to achieve the reduction of high raw materials, low transportation cost, lessen waste and wide areas for storage. This goal is achievable with the use of biopolymers because of their great advantages. Disposing massive quantities of wastes generated by non-biodegradable packaging material pave ways for the study of biopolymers as alternative materials for food packaging. Also, the increase in prices of petrochemicals and environmental effects now push up material development made from natural polymeric materials for various applications in food-packaging materials, which are more consumer-friendly. This study looks deep to food-packaging materials made from biopolymers. Their types, sources, advantages, limitations as well as future innovations are discussed.
