Plastic-Free Bioactive Paper Coatings, Way to Next-Generation Sustainable Paper Packaging Application: A Review
This review examines bio-derived paper coatings as plastic-free alternatives for sustainable packaging, synthesizing developments in biopolymer coatings sourced from biomass that can replace petroleum-derived polymers while meeting functional performance requirements for food and medical applications.
High Barrier Sustainable Paper Coating Based on Engineered Polysaccharides and Natural Rubber
Researchers developed a paper-based food packaging coating using engineered polysaccharides and natural rubber that provides barrier performance approaching that of plastic films while being biodegradable and avoiding microplastic formation. The coating maintained oxygen and moisture barrier properties under stress conditions relevant to food shelf life.
Sustainable biodegradable coatings for food packaging: challenges and opportunities
This review looks at biodegradable coatings made from both bio-based and petroleum-based materials as alternatives to traditional plastic food packaging. These sustainable coatings aim to reduce plastic waste while still protecting food, though challenges remain in matching the performance of conventional plastic packaging.
A Review on Replacing Food Packaging Plastics with Nature-Inspired Bio-Based Materials
Researchers reviewed bio-based materials inspired by nature as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based food packaging plastics. The study highlights that while conventional plastic packaging is effective for food preservation, its environmental impact has driven research into biodegradable and compostable alternatives that could reduce plastic waste and microplastic generation.
Current trends in biopolymers for food packaging: a review
This review covers the latest developments in biopolymer-based food packaging, including biodegradable films, edible coatings, and active or smart packaging systems.

A Comprehensive Review of Biodegradable Polymer-Based Films and Coatings and Their Food Packaging Applications
This review covers the development of biodegradable polymer-based films and coatings as alternatives to conventional plastic food packaging. While these bio-based materials reduce long-term environmental pollution, the review notes that they can still break down into microplastic particles under certain conditions. The shift to biodegradable packaging may reduce but not eliminate the food packaging contribution to microplastic pollution and human exposure.
Bio-Based Dual-Layer UV-Cured Oil- and Water-Resistant Paper Coating for Food Packaging Applications
Despite its title referencing bio-based paper coatings for food packaging, this paper studies how chitosan and plant-oil-derived coatings can replace fluorine-based chemicals on paper food packaging to resist water and oil — not microplastic pollution. It examines barrier performance and mechanical strength and is not relevant to microplastics or human health.
Biodegradable Packaging Materials for Foods Preservation: Sources, Advantages, Limitations, and Future Perspectives
This review examines biodegradable packaging materials derived from natural sources as alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics for food preservation. Researchers found that materials made from polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids can effectively extend food shelf life while being more environmentally friendly. The study acknowledges that cost and performance limitations remain, but highlights recent advances in combining these natural materials with antimicrobial and antioxidant agents to improve their practical viability.
Aqueous Dispersions from Wood-Derived Biopolymers for Barrier and Packaging Applications
This thesis explored wood-derived biopolymers as sustainable alternatives to synthetic packaging polymers, examining their structural and barrier properties and their potential to replace polyethylene, PVC, and polystyrene in packaging applications while avoiding microplastic pollution.
A Review on Biopolymer-Based Biodegradable Film for Food Packaging: Trends over the Last Decade and Future Research
