  1. 1. Sustainable food packaging based on polyhydroxyalkanoate

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Safana Al-Ashor; [2024]
    Keywords : Biopolymers; Sustainable food packaging; Circular economy; Biobased and biodegradable materials; Food packaging; Processing technologies; Food quality; Shelf-life;

    Abstract : The Norwegian Food Research Institute (Nofima) and the University of Borås worked together to develop this project. The commonly used packaging materials pose a serious threat to the environment, as they are produced from nonrenewable crude oil and cannot decompose naturally. READ MORE

  3. 2. Towards a sustainable substitute for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) in automotive industry

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Amalia Christoula; [2023]
    Keywords : Polylactide PLA ; Biobased; Life Cycle Analysis LCA ; Impact modifiers; Lignocellulose nanofibers LCNF; Polylaktid PLA ; Biobaserad; Livscykelanalys LCA ; Slagtålighet; Nanofibrer av lignocellulosa LCNF ;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utveckla ett hållbart ersättningsmaterial till akrylnitrilbutadienstyren plast (ABS), genom att applicera principerna för grön kemi och teknik. ABS är en icke-nedbrytbar plast som till exempel används i slagtåliga produkter för hyttinteriörer. READ MORE

    Author : Alice Rudberg; [2021]
    Keywords : plastics; polymers; bioblends; bioplastic; biopolymer; renewable; biodegradable; biobased; algae; seaweed; blue plastics; blue biopolymers; blue growth; Plaster; polymerer; bioplast; biopolymer; förnyelsebar; nedbrytbar; komposterbar; biobaserad; alger; sjögräs; algplast; algpolymerer; blue growth;

    Abstract : For more than a century, plastics have become an increasingly important part of the human society. Thanks to the durability and the many varieties of plastic it has a wide range of applications, but unfortunately the traditional plastic made from fossil oil has its drawbacks. READ MORE

  5. 4. Technology and market screening for “green” disposable diapers

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Carolina Nealis; [2021]
    Keywords : disposable diapers; nappies; green; eco; ecological; Engångsblöjor; miljövänliga; gröna; eco; ekologiska;

    Abstract : Marknadens påstående om att ”använda så lite plast som möjligt” är vilseledande när 5 av 11 miljövänliga blöjmärken observerades innehålla 80-75% fossil baserad plast.  Detta demonstrerar att vilseledande marknadsföring är närvarande på marknaden av miljövänliga engångsblöjor.

  6. 5. Hydrothermally carbonized wood as a component in biobased material for 3D-printing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Matilda Hendeberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Hydrothermal carbonization; 3D printing; biobased materials; biodegradable;

    Abstract : Consumers put higher demands on low environmental impact from the products they use, and the materials they consist of. As a result, more research is being made on finding environmentally friendly production techniques and materials. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a relatively environmentally friendly method that has been used in this study. READ MORE
