Edible, Biodegradable Food Packaging - Headline Science

Ғылым және технология

Most foods come wrapped in plastic packaging. This type of packaging creates a lot of waste and aren't that great at preventing spoilage. Researchers are now developing a biodegradable film made from milk proteins to hopefully solve these problems.

    They don't show the end product because milk protein-based "plastic packaging" is a natural base--i.e. it doesn't dissolve, it disperses into little chunks they don't want to show on video.

    It's really not confusing but someone didn't think out the problem they're trying to solve. The problem is plastic waste. You don't solve that problem by wrapping the wrapper that's designed to replace plastic in plastic. Furthermore they try to show this as being convenient because it dissolves in water and you can toss in the whole thing rather than just opening it and pouring the contents. Where they are failing is that in order to make it "convenient" they have to wrap it in plastic to keep it from getting dirty so now you have to open the plastic just so you can toss a water soluble protein bag in hot water. If you have to open the plastic anyway to toss in the bag why not just get rid of the plastic and tell people to open the new bag and pour the contents. The real problem is common sense is not common anymore.

    This sounds horrible. Using animal proteins to create a plastic alternative would increase the CO2 imprint created by the cowmeat & dairy industry. We should instead focus more on plant or bacteria-based solutions. Also, what about people with a milk-protein intolerance/allergy? Here in the netherlands, they are already using bacteria-produced, recyclable plastic for some products in the supermarket. I hope this trend continues!
