Marine-Based Materials for Sustainable Food Packaging
Biodegradable films, antimicrobial coatings, and barrier properties replacing fossil-based plastics.
The Challenge
The Challenge
Food packaging is dominated by multilayer plastics that are hard to recycle and persist in the environment as microplastics. Coatings that extend shelf life increasingly draw scrutiny under PFAS regulation. Brand owners need biodegradable, food-safe alternatives.
Our Solution
How Chitosan Helps
Transparent biodegradable films
Chitosan forms clear, flexible films with good mechanical properties for primary food contact.
Inherent antimicrobial action
Active against common food spoilage organisms, extending shelf life without preservatives.
Oxygen & oil barrier
Reduces oxidative spoilage in fatty foods, comparable to selected synthetic barrier polymers.
Home-compostable
Fully degrades in standard composting conditions, no microplastic residue.
