Design, manufacturing and preliminary assessment of the suitability of bioplastic bottles for wine packaging

The aim of this study is to evaluate the suitability bioplastic bottles for wine packaging. largely packaged in glass bottles, although alternative solutions such as laminate, plastic and bag-in-box packaging are decidedly widespread on market by virtue their ease use low cost, especially so-called entry-level products. However, involving partial or exclusive subject discussion scientific community, persistence materials environment at end product life cycle. A solution that could reconcile practicality cost with a reduced environmental footprint replacement fossil-based plastics compostable bioplastics. latter biodegrade if properly treated life, limiting Bioplastics are, however, more complex process than conventional plastics, also presenting higher cost. objective therefore manufacture prototype means an extrusion blow molding process, well evaluation main thermo-mechanical physical properties same.
