U.S. Develops New Environmentally Friendly Food Packaging Materials

The United States has successfully developed a new type of environmentally friendly food packaging material that has been processed using straw mold. It is fully in line with the requirements of environmental protection and it is expected that this new type of material will likely replace traditional polyethylene plastic film in the future and become the main material for food packaging. Experts said that not only strawberries but also carrots, broccoli and other vegetables and fruits can be used as packaging materials.

The performance of the new packaging material is no different from traditional food packaging materials and can also prevent oxygen infiltration and achieve freshness preservation. This kind of packaging material is mainly selected from vegetables and fruits that are not suitable for consumption. Therefore, the cost is low and it can be naturally decomposed. At the same time, it can also improve the taste of fruits such as bananas and apples.
