Abstract

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is currently the most used biopolymer in several food packaging applications at industrial level, due to its many advantages such as high transparency, availability in the market, and ease of processing. However, PLA presents some drawbacks such as its poor mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties. The addition of nanofillers to PLA matrix leads to an enhancement in the thermomechanical performance. The optimal nanofiller should be nontoxic, approved for food contact, renewable, and biodegradable. Cellulose derivatives, particularly cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are optimal fillers with interesting properties (i.e., stiff, lightweight, highly abundant in nature, at low cost, and biodegradable). In this chapter the current industrial PLA obtainment, processing, and compostability are reviewed in relation to its application as sustainable food packaging material. The advantages of reinforcing PLA with CNC to improve the thermal, mechanical, and barrier performance of the final bionanocomposites are also summarized.
