Biodegradable packaging, made by vegetable material, has appeared as a solution since they decompose naturally, thus not affecting the environment. Interestingly, many of these new environmentally friendly developments are suitable for in-pack HPP technology. Keep reading to learn how the food industry is facing this challenge to reduce dependence on petroleum.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Is still plastic the only alternative for HPP?<\/h2>\n<p>Plastic has traditionally been considered the only material suitable for in-pack HPP applications. <strong>Flexibility<\/strong>, <strong>elasticity<\/strong> and <strong>water-tightness<\/strong> are important characteristics required to withstand hydrostatic compression. However, non-plastic and environmentally friendlier polymers complying with these criteria are continuously being developed. This discards plastic as the only material compatible with HPP technology and opens the door a wide range of sustainable alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas single-use convenience plastics made from fossil fuels stay in the environment for hundreds of years, biodegradable packaging decomposes naturally. The action of microorganisms breaks down the structure of these materials into harmless molecules. Conversely, exposure of conventional plastics to the sun or seawater degrades these compounds into microplastics, which are then spread across the planet and end up polluting the air, water and food chain.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33592\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33592\" style=\"width: 377px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-33592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biodegradable-PLA-bottle-of-Yumi-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biodegradable-PLA-bottle-of-Yumi-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biodegradable-PLA-bottle-of-Yumi-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biodegradable-PLA-bottle-of-Yumi-630x399.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biodegradable-PLA-bottle-of-Yumi-420x266.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biodegradable-PLA-bottle-of-Yumi-840x532.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biodegradable-PLA-bottle-of-Yumi-315x199.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.hiperbaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biodegradable-PLA-bottle-of-Yumi.jpg 983w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Biodegradable and compostable PLA bottle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yumi.fr\/\">Yumi<\/a>, a French company that uses HPP to preserve their range of juices.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In-pack High Pressure Processing (HPP) technology delivers more natural and healthier products compared to heat-based preservation technologies.
