Description
Luis Jaime Pérez-Córdoba and coauthors reinforce biodegradable packaging films with cellulose fibers from crop hulls in a 2026 study. Fibers came from yam, potato, and cassava hulls at two loading levels. The base film blends two plant derived polyesters.
Cassava fiber at the higher loading gave the best moisture barrier results. More fiber generally stiffened films while reducing stretch before break. Films also turned less glossy and less clear, most strongly with yam fiber. Heat stability changed only slightly across recipes. Excess fiber hurt internal uniformity in some mixes. Packaging designers learn that fiber source matters as much as fiber amount.
