| Biopolymers and Biocomposites from Agro-waste for Packaging Applications looks at the utilization of biocomposites and biopolymers for packaging applications. 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 |
