Agro-Waste Derived Biopolymers and Biocomposites : Innovations and Sustainability in Food Packaging
AGRO-WASTE DERIVED BIOPOLYMERS AND BIOCOMPOSITES This comprehensive book describes the fundamental principles and major advancements in the utilization of agro-waste for deriving biopolymers, and their applications to fabricate composite, nanocomposite, and hybrid food packaging films and coatings.The book serves as a complete, systematic, comprehensive account of the contemporary developments in the area of novel and environment-friendly valorization of agro- and food wastes into value-added products like biodegradable polymer and active functional agents for food packaging applications.It also describes the hurdles and challenges in the commercialization of these novel biopolymer-based materials, including their composites, their applications, safety, and legal ramifications. This book consists of fifteen chapters covering different aspects of agro- and food waste utilization, the development of biodegradable polymers, and their composites for sustainable food packaging applications.The first thirteen chapters detail the processing of various agro- and food wastes of plant and animal origin to synthesize different biopolymers, such as starch, cellulose, chitosan, silk proteins, pectin, etc., and their applications for the fabrication of sustainable food packaging materials and composites that are attractive alternatives to synthetic plastic packaging.These chapters also summarize the effectiveness of these biopolymers and their composites in developing active films and edible coatings for shelf-life extension and preservation of perishable foods. A chapter is devoted to issues of biodegradability, including analyses of various biodegradation reactions, such as depolymerization, mineralization, biochemical, and abiotic degradation both in soil and aquatic environments.The book concludes with a chapter addressing the concerns associated with the possible migration of components or additives from these biodegradable packaging into packaged food items. Audience The primary audience for this book is researchers, scientists, and engineers working in food science and technology, food engineering and technology, food biotechnology, sustainable food packaging, etc.Additionally, food entrepreneurs and associated businesses, such as the packaging and coatings industries, will also have a keen interest in the book.

Should one keep packaging waste?
It is generally not necessary to keep packaging waste unless it is for a specific purpose such as returning a product, storing items, or for recycling purposes. Keeping excessive packaging waste can contribute to clutter and environmental waste. It is important to properly dispose of packaging waste through recycling or waste management systems to minimize its impact on the environment.
-
What is worse: packaging waste or food waste?
Both packaging waste and food waste have negative environmental impacts, but packaging waste may be considered worse in some ways. Packaging waste contributes to pollution and takes up space in landfills, and the production of packaging materials can also have a significant carbon footprint. On the other hand, food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions when it decomposes in landfills, and it also represents a waste of resources such as water and energy that were used to produce the food. Ultimately, both types of waste are concerning and efforts should be made to reduce both.

Where to put paper packaging with recycling symbol?
Paper packaging with a recycling symbol should be placed in the recycling bin. Make sure to check with your local recycling guidelines to ensure that the specific type of paper packaging is accepted in your recycling program. It is important to keep paper packaging separate from other types of waste to ensure it can be properly recycled and reused.
-
Why is the recycling code not on every packaging?
The recycling code, also known as the resin identification code, is not required to be on every packaging because it is not mandated by law. The code is a voluntary labeling system that helps consumers and recycling facilities identify the type of plastic used in the packaging. Some companies choose to include the code on their packaging as a way to promote recycling and environmental responsibility, but it is not a universal requirement. Additionally, some packaging materials, such as paper and glass, do not have a resin identification code because they are not made of plastic.

What is the difference between packaging and waste paper?
Packaging refers to the materials used to protect and contain products during storage, transportation, and display. This includes materials like cardboard boxes, plastic wrap, and Styrofoam. Waste paper, on the other hand, specifically refers to paper that has been used and discarded, such as newspapers, magazines, and office paper. While packaging can become waste paper once it is no longer needed, waste paper is a broader category that includes all types of paper products that have been used and are ready for disposal.

How can one avoid packaging in order to reduce waste?
One way to avoid packaging and reduce waste is to buy products in bulk, using your own reusable containers or bags. Another way is to choose products with minimal or no packaging, such as fruits and vegetables that can be bought loose. Additionally, opting for products with eco-friendly or biodegradable packaging can also help reduce waste. Finally, choosing to make homemade products, such as cleaning supplies or personal care items, can eliminate the need for packaging altogether.
