“…In addition to having found great expression in industry (Uemura Silva et al 2021;Velenturf et al 2019;Winans et al 2017), the concept of the circular economy is currently central to natural-resource-management issues (Barros et al 2020;Ingrao et al 2018), finding particular relevance in waste management, and, especially, in the management of bio-waste, which can be reintroduced into the food-production chain in the form of nutrients, energy, or even packaging materials (Gaspar et al 2021).…”

Alongside production and consumption, bio-waste management is central to the food systems debate. To achieve sustainable food systems—an essential component of the Sustainable Development Goals and the world they envision—public authorities must address the shortage of current bio-waste-management policies and strive towards a new paradigm of bio-waste management, where environmental justice primarily informs policy design and decision making. In order to achieve fair environmental policies, particularly in the context of food systems and bio-waste management, it is essential to understand what drives public policy in these matters. In the present review, we seek to contribute by closing a gap in the literature by proposing a set of bio-waste-management drivers in the European context. Moreover, we focus on the “policy and legislation” driver, hoping to examine its main components and understand both their limitations and the opportunities they provide. Finally, we explore the role that co-creation can play as a facilitator of a public-governance paradigm that promotes sustainable development.

“…Eco-friendly materials have become preferred alternatives both by the industry and consumers as part of food packaging, reducing the use of materials derived from fossil fuels. This is because it seeks to reduce the environmental impact of the tons of waste that are generated in the world [ 116 ]. The biodegradation process can be in accordance with ASTMD5338-15 [ 117 ].…”

The call to use biodegradable, eco-friendly materials is urgent. The use of biopolymers as a replacement for the classic petroleum-based materials is increasing. Chitosan and starch have been widely studied with this purpose: to be part of this replacement. The importance of proper physical characterization of these biopolymers is essential for the intended application. This review focuses on characterizations of chitosan and starch, approximately from 2017 to date, in one of their most-used applications: food packaging for chitosan and as an adsorbent agent of pollutants in aqueous medium for starch.
