The food packaging sector uses nanocellulose to stop food from rotting within the packages. preventing the food’s components from absorbing oxygen. the abandonment of foams made of polystyrene. prolonging the life of food.
Because of its natural abundance, favourable physicochemical features, and high intrinsic generalizability, nanocellulose has drawn a lot of interest for applications in materials science and biomedical engineering.
Cellulose film packaging offers a number of environmental advantages in addition to serving as an alternative to plastic: Cellophane is a sustainable product derived from bio-based, renewable resources because it is made from cellulose that is obtained from plants.
Due to its remarkable physicochemical properties, nanocellulose (NC), a natural nanomaterial that is both ecologically friendly and renewable, stands out among the other possibilities as a promising candidate for environmental restoration.
The Global Nanocellulose packaging Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The introduction of chemical-free pulping enhanced with nanocellulose by PI The United States-based biorefinery technology developer American Process Inc., based in Atlanta, Georgia, this week unveiled its patent-pending GreenBox++TM technology, which uses nanocellulose to power a chemical-free, water-based process to produce high-strength, lightweight paper-based packaging instead of chemical pulping.
The GreenBox++ technology is an upgrade to the API GreenBox+® technology. At Cascades’ Norampac-Cabano paper-based packaging facility in Quebec, Canada, API announced the commercial installation of the GreenBox+ technology.
A chemical process based on sodium carbonate was swapped out for API’s unique hot-water extraction technique. The plant lowers its environmental impact and process energy costs thanks to GreenBox+ technology.
They added a bolt-on nanocellulose processing line to their GreenBox+ technology, which has improved its functionality and market potential.
The robustness of paper-based packaging materials like corrugated media can be considerably improved by using nanocellulose that is locally manufactured from pulp made using their GreenBox+ technology. GreenBox++ technology is appropriate for retrofitting both sodium carbonate and kraft pulping processes because of the strength-boost provided by nanocellulose.
Paper manufacturers could be able to develop lighter packaging or use less material because of this boost in strength.Suppliers, brand owners, and retailers are always working to reduce the weight of packing materials in order to cut costs, lessen their impact on the environment, and get closer to sustainability.
