Reducing the dependency from sources of fossil to get raw materials is a market trend that is being adopted by many companies. The development of eco-innovative solutions based on the exploitation of organic wastes is now extended as an alternative.
Biopolymers are generated through anaerobic fermentation (bioproduction) of some wastes from the food industry, for example. Therefore, a more sustainable production process is achieved where byproducts are exploited and its cost is transformed in value that is reinvested in the industry.
Another solution is the development of biodegradable packaging based on the use of materials that may easily degrade in the landfill.
The prevention of packaging residues in origin is to search for less contaminant solutions. The incorporation of recyclable materials reduce the dependency of fossil fuels such as petroleum, while it reduces the environmental impact.
