What is it about?
Starch-based bioplastics have low cost and biodegradability. Starch structure allows interactions with molecules. The incorporation nanocellulose improve the starch film low mechanical strength and barrier properties properties.

Why is it important?
Nanocellulose for sustainable packaging development with lower environmental impact arouses the interest of industrial sectors as renewable sources material due to its mechanical properties for packaging manufacture. this review presents the incorporation nanocellulose-based nanocomposites in matrices, aiming to obtain formulations containing active agents to improve mechanical strength and water resistance and packaged product quality.
Perspectives
The incorporation nanocellulose-based nanocomposites in matrices aims to obtain formulations containing active agents to improve mechanical strength and water resistance and packaged product quality for its application to replace conventional plastics.
