Bioplastic produced from hemp waste potential eco-alternative for packaging films
Plant-based biocomposites improved resource efficiency and added value from biomass waste, study shows.
Hemp hurd-based biocomposites could be a viable alternative to fossil-based plastics and provide an environmentally sustainable packaging option, research suggests.
The material, usually discarded over commercially-favoured hemp fibres, showed promise in a Korean study to create lower-carbon packaging films.
The researchers produced hemp hurd microfibres through dry and wet milling followed by micro-fibrillation.
