Modern lifestyle factors, including dietary choices, significantly affect individual and intergenerational health. The widespread reliance on processed and takeout foods, along with the regular use of cosmetics and perso...

Abstract Achieving sustainability in resource-intensive industries such as cement production requires a transition away from synthetic plastic packaging toward biodegradable alternatives that reduce long-term environment...

This study examines the early effects of Iceland's 2023 extended producer responsibility (EPR) reform for packaging waste, one of the first nationwide implementations of a fully harmonised, producer-funded system in a sm...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of packaging permeability (water and oxygen) on the sensory and physical properties of white sliced bread during storage at ambient and accelerated conditions. White...

Waste materials from agricultural and food packaging usage pose significant health and environmental challenges, where the main source of waste originates from plastics and protein-based amino acids, and their thermal de...

Replacing single use plastic packaging with repeatedly refilled reusable containers is a ‘refill on the go’ business model that can contribute to circular economy objectives. Despite potential to enable sustainable c...

Sustainability efforts are gaining prominence in the over $300 billion U.S. grape and wine industry. Wine packaging can account for up to a third of the total carbon footprint associated with wine production, primarily d...

Spelt husk material is a novel packaging solution intended for equal applications as packaging made of expanded polystyrene (EPS). In the future, husk packaging could therefore at least partially substitute plastics in t...

Bisphenols (BPs), ubiquitous in food packaging, medical, and personal care products, are pervasive environmental contaminants. As bisphenol A (BPA) is increasingly replaced by its alternatives, the risk of mixed exposure...

The rapid growth of e-commerce provides unprecedented convenience but also generates environmental costs, including carbon emissions, plastic packaging, and reverse logistics waste. Understanding green consumer behavior ...

This review aims to critically investigate the swelling behavior of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs), with a focus on identifying key mechanisms of moisture absorption, the influence of fiber–matrix interact...

In the context of globalized food production, traceability is a key requirement in the fisheries sector, particularly for prepared and packaged fish products, where processing may hinder visual inspection and increase th...

Abstract Replacing petrochemical plastics with sustainable materials requires strategies that combine high mechanical performance with low environmental impact. Here, we report an ultrastrong and tough cellulose paper cr...
