Sustainable Preservation and Packaging Technologies: Biodegradable Solutions from Biotechnology

Abstract

With the increasing global concern over environmental degradation caused by non-biodegradable materials, there is a pressing need to shift towards sustainable preservation and packaging technologies. Biotechnology offers promising avenues for the development of biodegradable solutions that can mitigate the adverse impacts of traditional packaging materials. This paper explores the potential of biotechnology in creating sustainable preservation and packaging technologies, focusing on biodegradable materials derived from natural sources and engineered microorganisms. Through an examination of current research and development efforts, as well as challenges and future prospects, this paper aims to elucidate the role of biotechnology in advancing environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
