   Abstract : Due to climate change and plastic pollution, there is an increasing demand for bio-based materials with similar properties to those of common plastics yet biodegradable. In this respect, cellulose is a strong candidate that is already being refined on a large industrial scale, but the properties differ significantly from those of common plastics in terms of shapeability and water-resilience.

4. 7. Unravelling the Green Packaging Dilemma : Packaging Development for Sustainable Food Supply Chains

   Author : Katrin Molina-Besch; Förpackningslogistik; []
   Keywords : Food packaging; Green packaging; Packaging Development; Sustainable Food Supply Chain;

   Abstract : Green packaging development (GPD) involves the process of developing packaging with minimized environmental impact. Over the last decade, the GPD perspective has evolved from a traditionally packaging material-focused one to a holistic one. READ MORE

5. 8. Dynamically predicted shelf-life service : Exploring and evaluating a potential sustainable food supply chain innovation

   Author : Malin Göransson; Förpackningslogistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Supply chain; Packaging logistics; Food quality; Food waste; Sustainable innovation; supply chain; Packaging logistics; Food quality; Food waste; Sustainable innovation;

   Abstract : Roughly one third of all the food produced worldwide goes to waste. The global goals for sustainable development set by the United Nations in 2015 call for a 50% reduction of food waste per capita by 2030. We thus face several major food waste challenges that need academic and practical attention. READ MORE

6. 9. Food packaging design to support sorting behavior

   Author : Babak Nemat; Mariano Jr Reyes Ramirez; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Household waste; design attributes; packaging waste; design approaches; sorting behavior; sustainability; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : Due to population growth, urbanization, higher income levels, and intensive use of packaging products, the amount of waste generated by households, including food packaging waste, has been increasing continuously worldwide, posing a massive threat to societies and the environment. Therefore, proper waste management has become a challenging environmental issue and priority for governments. READ MORE

7. 10. Cellulose Nanofibril-based Hybrid Materials : Eco-friendly design towards separation and packaging applications

   Author : Luis Valencia; Aji Mathew; Olli Ikkala; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose nanofibrils; hybrid materials; membranes; aerogels; separation; food packaging; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

   Abstract : Nanocellulose has been lately considered as the “Holy-Grail” in the design of sustainable materials due to its bio-origin and an unprecedented combination of prominent features, including good mechanical properties, anisotropy and versatile surface chemistry. In addition, nanocellulose in the form of cellulose nanofibrils, can adopt variable structures and morphologies depending on the processing technique, such as aerogels, films and monoliths. READ MORE
