Abstract:
Reducing food wastage and minimizing pollution from food packaging are global challenges. Active biocomposite can extend the shelf life and reduce food wastage and pollution. Active biocomposite usage in food packaging is new and it’s important to assess their environmental impact. This study assesses the sustainability of active biocomposite food packaging, comparing it with biopolymer and synthetic packaging using EIA framework. Results revealed that active biocomposite food packaging has the highest sustainability, followed by biopolymer and synthetic packaging.
