    Abstract : The use of plastic has increased markedly in recent years which has led to more fossil fuels being used and more plastic in nature. This is a literature study that researches on how bio- based plastics can be used instead of plastics made from fossil fuels. READ MORE

  4. 3. Integration of food shelf-life in life cycle assessment of polymers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Divya Sukumaran Nair; [2021]
    Keywords : Food shelf-life; life cycle assessment; biopolymers; food packaging; sustainability; shelf-life induced food waste; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Biopolymers are being considered as a promising alternative to fossil-based polymers and this inclination towards biopolymers is due to their lower environmental impact owing to their origin from renewable resources. The environmental impact assessment, however, often does not consider the impact of barrier properties of polymers and the resulting differences in food waste generated in the supply chain.

  5. 4. FILAMENT EXTRUSION USING RECYCLED MATERIALS : Experimental investigations on recycled Polylactic Acid (PLA) materials

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Rydberglaboratoriet för tillämpad naturvetenskap (RLAS)

    Author : Dennis Johnson; [2020]
    Keywords : 3D printing FDM ; Filament Extrusion; Recycled PLA.;

    Abstract : 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of building threedimensional solid object from a digital file. In additive processes, an object is formed by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. The most commonly used materials for 3D printing are PLA (Polylactic Acid) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). READ MORE
