Sustainable, Tree-Free, PLA Coated, Biodegradable, Barrier Papers from Kendir (Turkish Hemp)

M. S. Cetin et al.

Summary: In this study, hemp-based barrier papers were produced using a simple film coating method. The physical, morphological, structural, wetting, mechanical, thermal dimensional stability, and water vapor permeability properties of the papers were analyzed. It was found that alkali treatment reduced the diameter of hemp fibers, and the tensile strength and dimensional stability of PLA-coated hemp papers were significantly increased, while the water vapor permeability decreased.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Packaging Films Based on Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) and Glass Flakes

Iftikhar Ahmed Channa et al.

Summary: In this study, PVA-based films incorporating glass flakes were developed as a perfect solution to replace non-biodegradable commercial films. The addition of glass flakes did not affect the transparency and flexibility of the films, but significantly reduced moisture permeation. The films also exhibited decent tensile characteristics and increased hardness with higher concentration of glass flakes. The bread packaged in the PVA film with glass flakes showed no degradation even after 10 days, indicating the excellent preservation properties of the developed packaging films.
