“…Despite this, the increasing concern about environment preservation and the problematic related to petroleum depletion has led to the development and study of new materials from renewable resources with the aim of lightening the carbon footprint [22][23][24][25]. Among the wide variety of potential bioresources for polymers, vegetable oils (VOs) are gaining interest; VOs composition is based on triglyceride structures which are composed of three different fatty acids linked to a glycerol base molecule.…”

“…The use of plastics filled with lignin has great potential in the design and production of eco-compatible plastic products. In Samal's work, formulations of low-cost biodegradable PE/lignin hybrid polymeric nanocomposites were prepared using ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer as compatibilizer and a transition metal salt as biodegradation promoter [92]. The incorporation of the pro-oxidant/ pro-degradant additive improved the oxidation process of the full carbon continuous matrix of bio-based hybrid nanocomposites.…”

Lignin, the second most abundant natural polymer, has shown its immense potential as sustainable resources for the synthesis of nanocomposites. This chapter reviewed recent developments related to lignin-based nanocomposites, including the fabrication, properties, and applications of nanocomposites based on lignin and its derivatives. We introduced nanocomposites combining physical and chemical properties of lignin and organic materials such as biopolymer and synthetic polymer, and we discussed lignin-based metallic nanocomposites with preferable property and catalytic performance. Furthermore, lignin-based carbonaceous nanocomposites exhibiting enhanced electrical properties were illustrated. Other lignin-based nanocomposites were also presented in this chapter.

“…For instance, an innovative used of metals in plastic material has been recently discussed in 2014 [32]. Researchers have developed formulations of low-cost bio-based oxo-biodegradable PE/lignin hybrid polymeric composites prepared by using ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer as compatibiliser and a transition metal salt as oxo-biodegradation promoter.…”

“…Researchers have developed formulations of low-cost bio-based oxo-biodegradable PE/lignin hybrid polymeric composites prepared by using ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer as compatibiliser and a transition metal salt as oxo-biodegradation promoter. The final aim has been the mitigation of the environmental burden caused by plastic waste items [32]. Another application [33] demonstrates the ability to tailor chelating activity of 'polypropylene-grafted-poly(acrylic acid)' (PP-g-PAA) with potential applications in active packaging.…”

Inorganic Contaminants of Food as a Function of Packaging Features

Metals are the most abundant group of chemical elements on the earth's crust and can be found in all foods. Some of them are essential to the diet, within certain specific tolerances, while others are present as contaminants and pose a risk to the human health. The knowledge of the risk by metal contamination in foodstuffs is an argument of great importance. Along the production chain, foods may come in contact with metals at different stages of the production process: parts of industrial plants, storage tanks, tools and mainly primary packaging. Some packaging materials are metallic; in other situations (plastics, etc.), metals are only one of components with a specific role. After an introduction on the international legislation, this chapter examines the main types of food containers-from metallic to plastic ones-considering the function of the metal, both as structural material or additive. For each material and packaging, factors affecting the related risk of contamination are analysed. Some case studies are examined referring to stainless steel, tinplate, aluminium, plastics and innovative packaging. The chapter concludes with a critical review with relation to some examples of metal concentration found in preserved foods, with a particular focus on heavy metals.
