Green valorization of rice husk agro-residues in the design of eco-friendly HPMC-based thermo-expanded foams for sustainable packaging.
Biodegradable alternatives to petroleum-derived plastics are needed to mitigate the environmental impacts associated with plastic packaging waste. This study aimed to develop and characterize biodegradable foams based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) reinforced with rice husk fibers (RHF), an agro-industrial res...
