In order to create more environmentally friendly food packaging, bioplastics can be utilised in place of traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Bioplastics are materials made from renewable resources and biodegradable polymers, such as PLA, PHA, PBAT, and starch.
Plastic trash is a problem that is smothering the world and damaging the ecosystem. Bioplastic is a biodegradable material that comes from renewable sources and can be utilised to solve this issue.
By transforming the sugar found in plants into plastic, bioplastics are created. In the United States, corn is the source of that sugar. Other nations make use of potatoes, sugar beets, wheat, or sugar cane.
Because of this, bioplastics are more environmentally friendly and renewable than regular plastics. Bioplastics are a type of plastic that can be produced from natural materials like plant starches and oils.
Since bioplastics are made from plants, less petroleum will likely be used to make plastic as a result.
The global Bioplastic Food packaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
ZEROPACK is a project between Bio-on and Rivoira to create bioplastics for food packaging. Rivoira and Bio-on Announce New Company Bioplastics to be Developed by ZEROPACK for Food Packaging A strategic partnership between Bio-on and Rivoira has been announced in order to create innovative materials for packaging fresh produce.
In accordance with the deal, Bio-on will form a new business called ZEROPACK S.p.A., of which Rivoira will purchase 50%.
The alliance intends to address the demand for new eco-sustainable materials, which is constantly rising. Bio-on founded the new business ZEROPACK to capitalise on patents intended to transform the food packaging industry for fruits and vegetables by utilising bioplastics.
The objective is to enable all distributors to provide clients with environmentally friendly and sustainable goods.
ZEROPACK has paid Bio-on an exclusive licence to use the technology for 10 million euros in order to hasten the development of these solutions and fast take the lead in this quickly expanding industry with a high demand for quality.
The technique is based on studies that Bio-on researchers have been doing in Italian and American labs for the past four years in this area of application.
It will aid in containing the new environmental emergency that is being caused by the massive amount of plastic garbage. As is common knowledge, the typical plastics used to package food goods today are inefficient for recycling and frequently contain elements that are highly polluting.
