Project Details :
* The project envisages setting up of Biodegradable Packaging for Food Products Manufacturing Unit based on the raw material strength of Gujarat.
* The manufacturing unit can focus on production, processing, marketing, exports, etc.
* Food packaging involves packaging of food products in cans, cups, sachets, bottles, etc. It helps to prevent product deterioration, retain the beneficial effects of processing, extend shelf-life, and maintain or increase the quality and safety of food.
* The rapid increase in non-biodegradable food packaging waste has caused adverse environmental concerns. This has led to the development of polymers made from renewable resources for food packaging.
* Natural polymers derived from agricultural products (such as starch, proteins, cellulose and plant oils) are the major resource for developing renewable and biodegradable polymer materials
* The polylactic acid (PLA) and the polyhydroxybutyrate acid (PHB) are two of the biopolymers targeted for use in the food industry as packaging material.
* Vendors are introducing biodegradable and sustainable forms of packaging to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly packaging products. The Coca Cola Company launched its Plant Bottle, which is partially made from bio-based plastics, while Danone is using PLA for its yoghurt cups.
