Embalagens biodegradáveis de amido reforçadas com fibras lignocelulósicas provenientes de resíduos agroindustriais

Abstract: There is an increasing interest in the utilization of renewable resources for the production of biodegradable packaging. Among the biopolymers, starches from several sources have been considered as one of the most promising material for this purpose, and the reasons for this are that starches are biodegradable, inexpensive and available in the worldwide. However, materials produced exclusively from this biopolymer tend to exhibit certain performance limitations, such as poor mechanical behavior and susceptibil… Show more

“…However, the diversity of resins used for their production poses challenges to their separation for reuse [2] . This has contributed to the environmental problems associated with discarded plastic packaging, with the significant buildup of residues requiring about 100-450 years for their natural decomposition [3] . The increasing demand for environmental preservation has thus necessitated research into alternatives to conventional plastics, such as varieties derived from petroleum derivatives using biodegradable and ecologically friendly materials.…”

“…Petroleum-based polymers are commonly used in packaging products due to their characteristics, such as malleability, low cost, and chemical and mechanical properties. However, due to the difficulty of separating and reusing its resins used in their composition, these materials have limited recycling and degradation between 100-450 years in the environment, contributing to environmental pollution [1][2][3][4] .…”
