Abstract
Production capacity of biobased polymers in the world is expected to triple from 2013 to 2020, mainly driven by new biobased polymers (poly(lactic acid) and polyhydroxyalkanoates) and biobased conventional polymers (polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene). Research efforts are clearly intent on addressing challenges that biobased polymers are facing, such as high cost for production and processing and uncompetitive performance, compared to conventional plastics. Formation of nanocomposites and active food packaging attract most of attention to enhance the performance of biobased polymers for food packaging applications.
