Waste management in the agricultural sector has become a major concern. Increased food production to satisfy the surge in population has resulted in the generation of large volumes of solid waste. Agro-waste is a rich source of biocompounds with high potential as a raw material for food packaging. Utilization of agro-waste supports the goal of sustainable development in a circular economy. This paper reviews recent trends and the development of agro-wastes from plant and animal sources into eco-friendly food packaging systems. Different plant and animal sources and their potential development into packaging are discussed, including crop residues, process residues, vegetable and fruit wastes, and animal-derived wastes. A comprehensive analysis of the properties and production methods of these packages is presented. Future aspects of agro-waste packaging systems and the inherent production problems are addressed.
农业部门的废物管理已成为一个主要问题。为满足人口激增而增加的粮食产量导致产生了大量固体废物。农业废弃物是生物化合物的丰富来源,作为食品包装原料具有很高的潜力。利用农业废弃物有助于实现循环经济中的可持续发展目标。本文综述了将植物和动物来源的农业废弃物转化为环保食品包装系统的最新趋势和发展情况。讨论了不同的植物和动物来源及其在包装方面的潜在发展,包括作物残渣、加工残渣、蔬菜和水果废弃物以及动物源废弃物。对这些包装的性能和生产方法进行了全面分析。探讨了农业废弃物包装系统的未来发展方向以及固有的生产问题。
