Biodegradable Polysaccharide Films for Eco-friendly Packaging: Composition Optimization, Properties and Design

The use of biodegradable materials remains limited in comparison to traditional plastics.The main markets for biodegradable materials are located in North America and Europe, where strict environmental regulations and public awareness are high.Our questionnaire survey revealed that the development of biodegradable packaging and its appearance is a hot issue in our country.The aim of this research was to develop polysaccharide-based film formulations, analyse packaging design models and create graphic visualizations of production.The paper identifies the main components for creating polysaccharide-based bioplastics.The results of experiments on different prototype compositions, analyzing their solubility in aqueous medium for comparative analysis against each other and conventional polyethylene, are presented.Additionally, the environmental friendliness and application efficiency of the new compositions are evaluated, and graphic visualizations of processes and logo design solutions are proposed.In general, each of the obtained prototypes has unique biopolymer properties, which allows for the selection of the most suitable one depending on the specific task and material requirements.Results indicate that compositions with higher gelatin content demonstrated optimal strength and rapid degradability, making them suitable for sustainable industrial packaging.These findings emphasize the practical value of introducing polysaccharide-based materials into mass production.
