Evaluation of some eco‐friendly plasticizers for PLA films processing
This study was conducted as a first step in order to obtain green materials for food packaging by using an eco-friendly bioplastic, polylactic acid (PLA), and nontoxic plasticizers.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
Citrate plasticizers have good miscibility, biodegradable, resistant to leaching and water and have legal use as additives. The demand for bioplasticizers is reported to increase from 887...
Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers Based on
The ester mixture that was found to be the most favorable plasticizer was characterized by good thermal and thermo-oxidative stability (5% weight loss temperature: 227.8 °C in air and 261.1 °C in nitrogen). The results of the research clearly indicate that the synthesized esters can provide a green alternative to toxic phthalate plasticizers.
EcoFriendly Plasticizers IHS Chemical - IHS Markit
Eco-Friendly Plasticizers PEP Report 62B Published December 2014 Plasticizers are organic esters, which is compounded into polymers to facilitate processing, and to improve flexibility and toughness of the final products through internal modification of the polymer morphology.
Surveillance of plasticizers, bisphenol A, steroids and caffeine

- Does green and multi-sensory packaging affect environmental sustainability?
- The current study investigated the direct and indirect effects of green and multi-sensory packaging on environmental sustainability by mediating consumer ecological knowledge. Results show that green and multi-sensory packaging directly affects environmental sustainability instead of indirectly through consumer ecological knowledge.
- Can Pakistan reduce plastic pollution?
- Pakistan joined the 128 nations that have banned single-use plastic (polythene) bags in 2019, yet implementation of the policy is still to be seen. Another step Pakistan takes is the recognition of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as a viable strategy for reducing plastic pollution.
- What is green packaging?
- Green packaging refers to using eco-friendly materials and design strategies to create packaging that minimizes negative impacts on the environment. On the contrary, packaging is multisensory in that it can be seen, touched, heard, and smelled, and it is mainly made of plastic, which is a leading cause of environmental damage.
- How can eco-friendly packaging promote environmental sustainability?
- It combines the value concept of psychology, the activation theory of models, and the new environmental conceptual theory. The adoption of eco-friendly packaging as a means of promoting environmental sustainability is complex. At first, consumers develop an understanding of environmental issues through their experiences with green packaging.
- How much plastic is used in Pakistan?
- Unfortunately, plastics make up 65 percent of all trash in Pakistan; 55 billion plastic bags are used annually, and an annual increase of 15 percent is anticipated (Pandey, 2015). Every country is coming up with innovative ideas, and Pakistan is doing its best to be a part where it can put some effort into degrading non-biodegradables (plastic).
- Does green packaging enhance a sustainable environment?
- The mediating and moderating model has been tested for the first time in the FMCG sector of Pakistan. This study benefits manufacturers and marketers to know the importance of green packaging to enhance a sustainable environment.
