The trend towards low-cost food packaging over the past two years, driven by global recession and volatile energy prices, is the main finding of a new study conducted by UK-based analysts Canadean.
Its latest report, Innovation in Liquid Food Packaging, 2009, charts the latest developments in ambient liquid food packaging design since 2007. It reviews the [...]

It is reported that PHB are used in industry easily due to its biodegradable, biological adaptation and non-toxic properties. PHB is used mostly as packing material because it is waxy and degradable. But its biological adaptation property makes it to be used as implantation material.

The usage areas of biodegradable plastics in food, medicine, pharmacy and [...]

Although plants aren’t PHB producers, PHB genes carrier plants can produce PHB and so they are potential organisms to produce cheaper PHB.

Studies showed that transgenic plants can produce PHB 20-40 % of their dry mass. It is known that bioplastic synthesis occurs in plant cytoplasm, plastid or peroxisome. Researches found that transgenic plants give up [...]
