They also wanted to know about the industry leaders in the research and development of edible packaging for food products, in order to find partnership opportunities.
Some questions we helped them answer:
- What’s the research status in the edible packaging domain and what solutions exist in the industry?
- What materials have the right properties to be used in packaging?
- Which companies are leading the research and can be a good research partner?

Although better than plastic, even these paper-based bottles/pouches are generally encased with inner liners (the layer of material that restricts the flow of liquid or gas) that are laced with plastic and thus are not 100% biodegradable.
Some questions we helped them answer:
- How can they replace their plastic-based packaging bottles/pouches with biodegradable paper-based packaging?
- What are the green alternatives to plastic liners for paper-based packaging cartons/bottles/pouches?
- Which of such materials will be suitable and most fitting in their manufacturing and production pipeline?

The majority of plastic waste comes from plastic packaging and the industry is racing to adopt sustainable alternatives to plastics for their packaging.
If you are here, I am sure you’re working in a similar direction too.
The path to adopting plastic alternatives is not easy. Hindrances at technology, manufacturing, and marketing level need to be tackled before we can witness mass usage of bioplastics, cellulose, and other sustainable packaging solutions in the packaging industry.

Below are some of the most common bioplastic properties that we have helped our clients overcome in the past few years:[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][mk_padding_divider size=”30″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mk_icon_box2 icon_size=”32″ icon=”mk-icon-codepen” icon_color=”#00c8d7″ icon_border_color=”#eaeaea” icon_hover_border_color=”#00c8d7″ title=”Poor Barrier Properties” title_weight=”bold” description_color=”#828282″]
Barrier properties are required to protect the content of the package from moisture and air. In our studies, we have discovered a few promising bioplastic solutions in this direction.

Generally, good bioplastics have some limitations when it comes to biodegradability. Such as PLA degrades only in specific environments which is difficult to create on a domestic scale.

On the other side, it should not be the case that the bioplastics start degrading while the product is still on the shelf.

The cost can be a decisive factor while marketing the bioplastics. Traditional plastics are way cheaper; hence difficult to replace.

Strength and flexibility are necessary for the proper application of plastics. An easily tearable package can limit the use of bioplastic for delicate applications only.

Bioplastics such as PBAT are derived from petrochemicals, yip, oil. So, it is not actually of a renewable origin. This can affect the marketability of the solution.
