Packaging Can and Should Change Lives
FoodPackSummit 2018 - Mexico Claire Sand packagingtechnologyandresearch.com 5
• Packaging can be sustainable, affordable and convenient
• Packaging can enable food choices the 4 billion+ consumers at pyramid’s
base
• Packaging needs to leapfrog to provide product protection
• Packaging should reduce food waste, be sustainable, and connect in
meaningful ways to all consumers

How it Works
Opportunity
• Consumer - intuitively - separable packaging
• Redesign packaging to allow mechanical and
structural support to be separated from barriers
• Cost effective use of materials allows for thicker
separable layers of fully recyclable polymers (PET
sheet) vs. thin layers of aluminum foil that cannot be
separated from base stock

POLYMERS
• Energy intensive hydrolysis (using bases, acids and water) in which
thermophilic hydrolase actively degrades polyesters containing aromatic
constituents
• Alcoholysis (using alcohols)
• Glycolysis (using glycols)
• Aminolysis (using amines) via aminolysis to poly (aryl ether sulfone-
amide) results in a new value-added polymeric material

such as diesel and waxes
How it Works Opportunity
Impediments
• Particle Technology Laboratory ETH Zurich
• Solar cells
• Embedded within film solutions
to attain high barrier films
• Single step synthesis
• New processes allow for ~25%
by volume of nanocomposites
• And, allows for a platform
polymer with variable
permeability as a function of the
nanocomposite concentration
as well as the use on paper
creating a rapidly separable 2-
component polymer-paper high
barrier structure
• Recyclable single layer high barrier films
• This also can be applied to improving the strength of
hydrogels and thin films
• Volumes to drive production
• Cost vs multilayer films
• Facilitate recycling of films or separation from
paperboard

Bio-mass derived Environmental Concerns
Non-oil derived polymers can result in ocean plastic as well as oil-derived polymers

The potential to
replace oil-derived
polymers with
biomass derived
polymers in terms
of land use is low
1. Commitment of value chain
partners to sustainable sourcing
2. Leadership and alliances with
early technology movers
3. Strong branding to consumers on
sustainable sourcing of packaging
Overview How it Works
• Bioderived and recyclable polymers, when polymerized from
sustainable feedstocks, are highly sustainable
• Major initiatives lead by CPGs have committed to developing
bioderived polymers
• Bio-PE and Bio-PET have the most promise as drop-in solutions
• The focus has now shifted to sustainable sourcing of the
feedstocks based on LCAs pinpointing the similarity between
environmental issues associated with bioderived and oil-derived
polymers
• Polymers are bio-mass
derived (grass, trees,
agricultural waste) as well as
recyclable in current
recycling streams

Bioderived & Recyclable
How it Works
Opportunity
• Biopolyethylene (bioPE) is
produced by the catalytic
dehydration of bioethanol to
yield bioethylene
• Most common source is
sugar cane
• CO2eq saving per kg of bioPE (as
compared to fossil based PE): 4kg
• Drop-in polymer to replace existing
PE within existing packaging
• No changes in BioPE processing
condition in comparison to virgin PE
BIO-PE

Bioderived & Recyclable
How it Works
Opportunity
• Biobased PET is produced from biobased
ethylene glycol (EG) and biobased
terephthalic acid (PTA)
• Bio-EG is produced from molasses then bio-
ethanol that is derived from the fermentation
of glucose/sorbitol or from cellulose using a
carbon-supported tungsten carbide catalyst
• Bio-PTA is derived from paraxylene
• CO2eq saving per kg of Bio-PET 30 (as compared to fossil-based PET) is 2 2
kg
• Control of common sustainable source sugarcane, corn, and woody biomass
• Drop-in replacement for PET
• No changes in Bio-PET 30 processing condition in comparison to virgin PET

• Scaled-up bio-PTA production has not been demonstrated

1. Commitment of value chain
partners to sustainable
sourcing
2. Build of infrastructure for
handling post-consumer
packaging
Overview How it Works
• Bioderived and compostable/degradable polymers, when polymerized
from sustainable feedstocks, are sustainable
• Lack of commercial facilities for composting/degradable hamper efforts
• The revised focus to sustainable sourcing of the feedstocks conflicts
consumer concepts that these polymers are more sustainable that oil-
derived polymers
• A strategy involving compostable polymer must extend into sustainable
sourcing
• Polymers are bio-mass derived
(grass, trees, agricultural waste)
and compostable/degradable in ill
defined infrastructure
Value Chain for Success

Source Sustainably
Bioderived & Compostable
• Compostable plastics are well received by consumers
• However:
• Infrastructure does not exist in abundance
• Certification is not harmonized
• Compostable plastics as defined by ASTM 6868 are compostable in industrial composting facilities
• The requirements in order for materials to be compostable are:
(i) disintegration without remaining residuals in the final compost
(ii) tested level of biodegradation
(iii) no adverse impacts on ability of compost to support plant growth
(iv) final compost after a decomposition must not include toxic substances such as heavy
metals at unacceptable levels

How it Works
Opportunity
• Polyhdroxy fatty acids are
made by anaerobic digestion
of starch
• 7% OF THE GLOBAL MARKETS FOR BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS CONSISTS
OF PHAS (BCC RESEARCH LLC, 2018)
• Even though PHAs have stability in hot water, the degradation occurs
in water, aquatic, sodium and composting conditions (aerobic and
anaerobic)
• Despite their fast decomposition in marine and soil condition,
achievable shelf life renders it suitable for packaging applications
• Calcium carbonate, talc, mica (for improvements in stiffness,
strength, barrier properties with increased opacity)
• Other bioplastics such as TPS can be added to control the degradation
rate
• Ranges of properties include from rigid to high elasticity leading to
applications in fibers, coatings, films, adhesives, molded products
etc

How it Works
Opportunity
1. Academic and industrial efforts previously focused on PLA and improving the packaging
performance of PLA (copolymerization with other polymers) and blending approaches
2. From an industrial point of view melt-blending is simple, cost effective and readily available for
industrial processing
3. Blending PLA with high crystalline polymer matrices are considered since physical properties
can be improved by increasing crystallinity
POLYLACTIC
ACID BLENDS
Polymers such as PLA - PHB
blends are used due to their
similar solubilities for melting
processes and improved
barrier and physical
properties than PLA and
PHB alone
• NatureWorks is the major producer of PLA with a production of 15,000 tons per year (Blair,
Nebraska) World Centric Products (Cold cup and cutlery)
• Fritolay SunChips bag were manufactured by Ingeo produced by Natureworks LLC
• Ecovio® F2223 aliphatic-aromatic copolyester ecoflex® F and polylactic acid (PLA) blends
• Ecovio® P30 and P50;
