Multibarrier plastic packaging is a challenge for recyclability. Bio-based plastics also has major challenges, as it requires industrial biodegradation. Littered plastic turns into microplastic, and this is an environmental and health issue. We propose in this project to test novel sustainable packaging solutions based on nanocellulose, modified starch with various advanced coatings on the quality of the food, the material transfer and the properties of the package in specific model systems.
The project will require a literature review, pilot scale testing, advanced analytical techniques. The work will be located in Taastrup at DTI.
