ClearAdvancements in Biodegradable Active Films for Food Packaging: Effects of Nano/Microcapsule Incorporation
This review examines how incorporating nano- and microcapsules containing natural antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds into biodegradable packaging films can extend food shelf life. Researchers found that these capsules protect the active compounds during processing and allow their controlled release over time. The technology offers a promising alternative to synthetic preservatives while also reducing reliance on conventional plastics in food packaging.
Contributions aux enjeux des transitions dans les domaines des produits et matériaux durables
This paper is not primarily about microplastics. It is a broad research summary covering sustainable food systems, life cycle assessment methodologies, alternative proteins, and biodegradable food packaging materials. While it briefly mentions including microplastics in life cycle assessment methods, the focus is on food system sustainability and antimicrobial packaging rather than microplastic contamination or health effects.
Nanoemulsion-Based Multilayer Films for Ground Beef Preservation: Antimicrobial Activity and Physicochemical Properties
This is a food science study developing biodegradable antimicrobial multilayer packaging films containing cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion to extend ground beef shelf life; it is not a microplastics research paper.
The sustainability debate on plastics: Cradle to grave Life Cycle Assessment and Techno-Economical Analysis of PP and PLA polymers with a “Polluter Pays Principle” perspective
Researchers conducted a cradle-to-grave life cycle and techno-economic assessment of polypropylene and polylactic acid plastics, finding that PLA outperforms PP environmentally when lot sizes and part weights are equal, but that end-of-life management choices significantly affect both environmental and economic outcomes.
