Bio-Based Packaging
Bio-Based Packaging
An authoritative and up-to-date review of sustainable packaging development and applications
Bio-Based Packaging explores using renewable and biodegradable materials as sustainable alternatives to non-renewable, petroleum-based packaging. This comprehensive volume surveys the properties of biopolymers, the environmental and economic impact of bio-based packaging, and new and emerging technologies that are increasing the number of potential applications of green materials in the packaging industry. Contributions address the advantages and challenges of bio-based packaging, discuss new materials to be used for food packaging, and highlight cutting-edge research on polymers such as starch, protein, polylactic acid (PLA), pectin, nanocellulose, and their nanocomposites.
In-depth yet accessible chapters provide balanced coverage of a broad range of practical topics, including life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based packaging products, consumer perceptions and preferences, supply chains, business strategies and markets in biodegradable food packaging, manufacturing of bio-based packaging materials, and regulations for food packaging materials. Detailed discussions provide valuable insight into the opportunities for biopolymers in end-use sectors, the barriers to biopolymer-based concepts in the packaging market, recent advances made in the field of biopolymeric composite materials, the future of bio-plastics in commercial food packaging, and more. This book:
Bio-Based Packaging is essential reading for academics, researchers, and industry professionals working in packaging materials, renewable resources, sustainability, polymerization technology, food technology, material engineering, and related fields.

Renewable resources, their use and modification, are involved in a multitude of important processes with a major influence on our everyday lives. Applications can be found in the energy sector, paints and coatings, and the chemical, pharmaceutical, and textile industries, to name but a few.
The area interconnects several scientific disciplines (agriculture, biochemistry, chemistry, technology, environmental sciences, forestry, etc.), which makes it very difficult to have an expert view on the complicated interactions. Therefore, the idea to create a series of scientific books, focusing on specific topics concerning renewable resources, has been very opportune and can help to clarify some of the underlying connections in this area.
In a very fast‐changing world, trends are not only characteristic of fashion and political standpoints; science too is not free from hypes and buzzwords. The use of renewable resources is again more important nowadays; however, it is not part of a hype or a fashion. As the lively discussions among scientists continue about how many years we will still be able to use fossil fuels – opinions ranging from 50 to 500 years – they do agree that the reserve is limited and that it is essential not only to search for new energy carriers but also for new material sources.
In this respect, the field of renewable resources is a crucial area in the search for alternatives for fossil‐based raw materials and energy. In the field of energy supply, biomass‐ and renewables‐based resources will be part of the solution alongside other alternatives such as solar energy, wind energy, hydraulic power, hydrogen technology, and nuclear energy. In the field of material sciences, the impact of renewable resources will probably be even bigger. Integral utilization of crops and the use of waste streams in certain industries will grow in importance, leading to a more sustainable way of producing materials. Although our society was much more (almost exclusively) based on renewable resources centuries ago, this disappeared in the Western world in the nineteenth century. Now it is time to focus again on this field of research. However, it should not mean a “retour à la nature”, but should be a multidisciplinary effort on a highly technological level to perform research towards new opportunities, and to develop new crops and products from renewable resources. This will be essential to guarantee an acceptable level of comfort for the growing number of people living on our planet. It is “the” challenge for the coming generations of scientists to develop more sustainable ways to create prosperity and to fight poverty and hunger in the world. A global approach is certainly favored.
This challenge can only be dealt with if scientists are attracted to this area and are recognized for their efforts in this interdisciplinary field. It is, therefore, also essential that consumers recognize the fate of renewable resources in a number of products. Furthermore, scientists do need to communicate and discuss the relevance of their work. The use and modification of renewable resources may not follow the path of the genetic engineering concept in view of consumer acceptance in Europe. Related to this aspect, the series will certainly help to increase the visibility of the importance of renewable resources. Being convinced of the value of the renewables approach for the industrial world, as well as for developing countries, I was myself delighted to collaborate on this series of books focusing on the different aspects of renewable resources. I hope that readers become aware of the complexity, the interaction, and interconnections, and the challenges of this field, and that they will help to communicate on the importance of renewable resources.
I certainly want to thank the people of Wiley's Chichester office, especially David Hughes, Jenny Cossham, and Lyn Roberts, in seeing the need for such a series of books on renewable resources, for initiating and supporting it, and for helping to carry the project to the end.
Last, but not least, I want to thank my family, especially my wife Hilde and children Paulien and Pieter‐Jan, for their patience, and for giving me the time to work on the series when other activities seemed to be more inviting.

The plastic industry was initiated in the early 1900s when the first synthetic plastic was produced by Leo Hendrik Baekeland in the United States of America. Since the industry began, annual global plastic production has exploded from some 1.5 million metric tons in 1950 to 348 billion metric tons in 2017. Cumulatively, plastic production has reached 8.3 billion metric tons worldwide, with a dramatic increase in the amount of plastics anticipated to be produced globally by the year 2050. Of the amount produced, most plastics are single use and afterwards are immediately disposed of, usually into landfills. Currently, the packaging industry relies strongly on the use of petroleum‐derived plastic materials, which raise some concerns from both an environmental and economic perspective. Furthermore, because of their lack of biodegradability, these products can pose significant waste disposal problems in some areas. Growing environmental concerns regarding usage of these toxic pollutants containing materials that are harmful to people, animals, and plants are motivating the use of bio‐based materials as alternatives.
The global plastic sustainability issue has grown significantly in the last few years, encouraging academia as well as industry players to develop sustainable alternatives for preserving resources for future generations. Development of bio‐based packaging is one of the important factors for sustainable growth of the packaging industry. Recent trends in the consumer market have moved towards greener packaging. In 2019, the global production capacity of biodegradable bioplastics was 941 000 metric tons. The global biodegradable plastic packaging market was valued at US$4.65 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach a market value of US$12.06 billion by 2025, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.04% during the forecast period of 2020–2025. The successful use of renewable bio‐based packaging for the production of packaging materials will overcome the environmental problems caused by petroleum‐derived plastics. Bio‐based packaging materials have attracted huge considerable research and development interest for a significant length of time, and in recent years these materials have reached the market. Eco‐concerns played a major role in encouraging the development of biopolymers in packaging applications. This occurred directly via consumer demand for environmentally friendly products as well as indirectly via the political and ensuing environmental legislation and regulation. Furthermore, technological advances, such as nanotechnology, are forecasted to continue improving biopolymer properties and increasing the number of potential applications for such bio‐based materials in packaging.
This book looks at how biopolymers might be used in packaging as a potential green solution. It addresses commentary from leading industrial and academic experts in the field who present cutting‐edge research on bio‐based materials for the packaging industry. It includes new potential materials to be used for food packaging applications, such as starch, protein, pectin, chitin, chitosan, natural fibre, cellulose, nanocellulose, polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), etc., as well as their manufacturing processes and legislative demands for food contact packaging materials. It also gives an overview of the most recent advances and emerging new aspects of nanotechnology for development of composites for environmentally compatible packaging materials. Furthermore, this book covers a life cycle assessment of bio‐based packaging products and the market for bio‐based packaging, on how consumer perceptions and preferences regard bio‐based packaging, as well as an assessment of supply chains, business strategies, and markets in biodegradable food packaging. This book covers economic issues and environmental issues of bio‐based packaging, including the socioeconomic impact of bio‐based packaging, the future of sustainable packaging, renewable sources for packaging material, environmental advantages and challenges of bio‐based packaging materials, a life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio‐based packaging products, as well as the reuse and recycle of bio‐based packaging products. Lastly, it also elaborates the opportunities for biopolymers in key end‐use sectors and penetration of biopolymer‐based concepts in the packaging market, as well as barriers to widespread commercialization.

Packaging has played an important role in world pollution in recent decades as multimillions tons of packaging waste have resulted in environmental issues [1, 2]. Due to the environmental challenges many researchers have formulated biodegradable and ecofriendly composite materials to replace conventional packaging materials [3]. In fact, more and more countries have recently passed regulations or laws to ban the application of disposable plastic packages, which enhanced the work in this area. The high cost of producing bioplastics has hindered its further development, so alternative low‐cost and renewable substrates have been proposed using agricultural waste [4]. Starch‐based materials are the promised alternative to synthetic ones in food packaging and handling in many aspects [5].
Starch films have been widely used in food and medicine packaging [6–10], in which the film should be edible in many cases, such as applications in candy wrappers and medicine capsules, etc. [11, 12]. Such films maintain the shelf life of foods for distant marketing, either by acting as a barrier for gases and volatile compounds or by controlling water permeability [13–15]. Improvement of mechanical properties and reducing moisture sensitivity are two ongoing challenges for starch‐based materials. To achieve these two goals, various blending and compositing techniques have been developed, such as blending with other polymers or reinforcing with particle or fiber‐fillers [16–19]. However, incorporation of any additive is sensitive when developing food contactable or edible packaging films, due to safety issues.
On the other hand, the unique microstructures of different starches and their multiphase transitions during thermal processing can be used as an outstanding model system to illustrate our conceptual approach to understanding the structure–processing–property relationships in polymers [20–27].
This chapter introduces the development of starch‐based materials, in particular their application in packaging, including both fundamental and application researches. It starts from fundamental issues of starch microstructures and phase transition to application techniques of extrusion processing, and then moves to show how to solve the well‐recognized weaknesses of starch‐based materials.
Synthetic polymers have been developed to the point where microstructures can be designed and molecular weight and molecular weight distribution can be controlled. However, the mesoscopic structure within a starch granule has evolved to suit a plant's own needs and is therefore much more complex. Starch is a polysaccharide produced by mostly higher‐order plants as a means of storing energy. It is stored intracellularly in the form of spherical granules 2–100 μm in diameter. Most commercially available starches are isolated from grains such as corn, rice, and wheat or from tubers such as potato and cassava (tapioca).
Chemically, starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of anhydroglucose units linked together primarily through α‐d‐(1 → 4) glucosidic bonds [22, 26–38]. Although the detailed microstructures of different starches are still being clarified, it has generally been established that starch is a heterogeneous material containing two types of microstructures – linear (amylose) and branched (amylopectin). Amylose is essentially a linear structure of α‐1,4 linked glucose units, while amylopectin is a highly branched structure of short α‐1,4 chains linked by α‐1,6 bonds. Figure 1.1 shows the chemical structure and a schematic representation of amylose and amylopectin starches. The linear structure of amylose makes its behavior more closely resemble that of conventional synthetic polymers. Depending on its source and the processing conditions employed during its extraction, the molecular weight of amylose is about ×106, which is 10 times higher than conventional synthetic polymers. Amylopectin, on the other hand, is a branched polymer and its molecular weight is much greater than amylose, with light‐scattering measurements indicating a molecular weight in the millions. The high molecular weight and branched structure of amylopectin reduce the mobility of the polymer chains and interfere with any tendency for them to become oriented closely enough to permit significant levels of hydrogen bonding. Between the linear amylose and short‐branched amylopectin, a long‐branched structure has been detected, such as that found in tapioca starch.
Physically, most native starches are semi‐crystalline, having a crystallinity of about 20–45% [22, 39–41]. Amylose and the branching points of amylopectin form amorphous regions. The short‐branched chains in the amylopectin are the main crystalline components in granular starch. Crystalline regions are present in the form of double helices with a length of ∼5 nm. The amylopectin segments in the crystalline regions are all parallel to the axis of the large helix. The molecular weight of amylopectin is about 100 times higher than that of amylose. The ratio of amylose to amylopectin depends upon the source and age of the starch and it can also be controlled by the extraction process employed. Starch granules also contain small amounts of lipids and proteins.
