Bio-nanocomposites for food packaging applications
TL;DR: The most promising nanoscale fillers are layered silicate nanoclays such as montmorillonite and kaolinite as mentioned in this paper, which can provide active and/or smart properties to food packaging systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food packaging based on polymer nanomaterials
TL;DR: In this article, the latest innovations in food packaging, using improved, active and smart nanotechnology is analyzed, and the limits to the development of the new polymer nanomaterials that have the potential to completely transform the food packaging industry.

Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things
TL;DR: McDonough and Braungart as discussed by the authors argue that the one-way, 'cradle to grave' manufacturing model, dating to the Industrial Revolution, creates such fantastic amounts of waste and pollution in the first place.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Overview of Polylactides as Packaging Materials
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to review the production techniques for PLAs, summarize the main properties of PLA and to delineate the main advantages and disadvantages of PLA as a polymeric packaging material.

An extensive new literature concerning low-dose effects of bisphenol A shows the need for a new risk assessment.
TL;DR: It is proposed that a new risk assessment for BPA is needed based on the extensive new literature reporting adverse effects in animals at doses below the current reference dose, and the high rate of leaching of BPA from food and beverage containers, leading to widespread human exposure.
