Brief Innovation
SFC is an innovative project that aims to utilise rice straw, an agricultural waste product, to develop a biodegradable UV protection film specifically designed for food packaging. The project addresses the problem of food exposure to damaging light and the reliance of the food manufacturing industry on non-biodegradable plastic packaging, which contributes to plastic waste pollution. SFC offers a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based materials, reducing plastic pollution and mitigating agricultural waste. The project targets the food manufacturing industry, providing high-performance UV-blocking packaging materials and addressing the need for reducing plastic waste.
