Use of Lignocellulosic Materials in Bio-based Packaging

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Lignocellulosic Materials and Their Use in Bio-based Packaging

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((BRIEFSBP))

Abstract

This chapter presents the most recent studies on the use of lignocellulosic materials for the development of bio-based packaging materials. It is addressed the incorporation of cellulose and its derivatives, hemicellulose, and lignin in bio-based packaging, and some works where the lignocellulosic materials with few pretreatment are used as filler are also presented. Additionally, it is discussed some bio-based materials extracted from biomass, such as polysaccharides and proteins, but also the chemically synthesized polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), or obtained through biotechnological routes such as polyhydroxyalkanoates.
