Bio foams are biodegradable foams and are a type of food packaging composed of starch that is biodegradable and ecologically beneficial. Expanded polystyrene (EPS), a low-cost and commonly accessible polymer, is often used in foam packing. Unfortunately, EPS-based foams are harmful to the environment since they are non-biodegradable and rarely recycled.Phthalates in plastic, as endocrine disruptors and SVOCs, are harmful to human reproductive, neurological, and developmental systems through many exposure routes. Children are more exposed to phthalates and more sensitive to them. To address synthetic plastic pollution and health issues, it is critical to produce foams from renewable and non toxic sources for use in biodegradable packaging for food and rapid food delivery.
