ABSTRACT
About Biodegradable Packaging Materials

Packaging includes an extensive range of materials such as paper, board, plastic, metal, glass, wood, and other materials. Biodegradable materials such as bioplastics and paper are widely used in packaging applications because of their sustainable nature, appearance, and properties. These materials are decomposed naturally by microorganisms. Biodegradable packaging differs from conventional non-biodegradable packaging in terms of raw materials, production technology, applications, and composting. Biodegradable packaging materials are used in all levels of packaging such as primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging.
