The Packaging used to protect the products and first impression of product which interact the consumers. The non-biodegradable materials i.e., plastics, glass, and metals in packaging applications are produced every year with the intention of use and throw are raising concerns about environmental pollution. In view of that, the idea of “Green composites” fabricated from plant fibres which have emerged as new environmentally sustainable products, with Engineering and Industrial applications. Therefore, there have been substantial studies to develop alternative packaging products using plant fibers with focus on re-packaging products. Studies have reported that the use of natural composites fabricated from plant fibre may reduce the plastic waste and thus consecutively solve the waste disposal problem to some extent owing to its biodegradability. The aim of this book chapter is to summarise information on possible plant fibres and their applications for packaging applications. Overall, this chapter will helpful to Young Scientists, Product designers and Engineers, who are working in the area of sustainable packaging for commercial uses. |
