Description

The goal of this project is to significantly reduce the water and oil resistant coating on fully biodegradable coated paper from 30 WT% to below 10 WT% which will lower the cost and enhance the viability of the developed coated paper.activities:the specific objectives are 1) use poly(butylene succinate) blends (PBS-blends) for paper coating applications and 2) using a dual-layer strategy to reduce the overall coating load. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:deliverables include annual and final reports. The results of this project will create environmentally low-impact packaging solutions as alternatives to non-biodegradable options. The initiative provides a greener alternative to conventional plastics and perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) coated paper, which are major sources of microplastics and fluorochemical pollution. Direct beneficiaries of this project would include communities impacted by PFAS contamination, industries that utilize single use packaging, and environmental managers.
