Sustainable packaging solutions: harnessing primary sludge cellulosic fibres in foamed starch materials <i>via</i> injection moulding
Foamed trays were produced by injection moulding using starch and primary sludge as sustainable raw materials. The foamed trays are characterized by low density, high porosity, significant water uptake, and a hydrophobic surface.
