  1. 1. Banana by-products in Thailand - Exploring its feasibility as bioplastics feedstock for food packaging

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Ratchadetch Termpitipong; [2021]
    Keywords : Banana by-products; bio-based packaging; bioplastic; value chain; Thailand; feasibility; DEFT analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study aims to determine the operational feasibility of utilizing banana cultivation by-products as an alternative raw material in bioplastic production, replacing bio-based feedstock that is otherwise used as food in Thailand. By following the exploratory qualitative research approach, a combination of secondary sources of information together with interviews with the identified stakeholders involved in banana cultivation and bioplastic value chains were used in data collection process.
