Abstract In the 1960s, the Swedish company Celloplast patented the first one‐piece plastic bag for packaging, and such plastic bags are heavily used all around the world until they are banned by some countries for environmental and sustainability reasons. Similarly, the EU banned certain single‐use plastic items in 2021—but food packaging is not part of this new regulation. And indeed, the majority of food packaging encountered today in the supermarket is still made from traditional, petrol‐based plastics. This review summarizes recent efforts in developing more sustainable alternatives to such petrol‐based food packaging. Different natural sources and production processes used to develop biodegradable, biopolymer‐based materials (bbMs) are discussed, which are categorized into natural bbMs, modified/plasticized bbMs, and plastic bbMs. An overview of the material properties of commercially available bbMs and bbMs developed in academic research projects is provided, and are compared with the properties of conventional, petrol‐based materials used for packaging. Furthermore, the role of academic and industrial contributors along the value chain of bbMs is highlighted and challenges that are responsible for the still limited occurrence of bbMs in daily lives are discussed.

Advanced Materials Interfaces

ADVANCED MATERIALS INTERFACES 发表关于界面技术和效果的顶级研究。考虑到固体、液体和气体之间形成的任何界面，该杂志确保了物理、化学、材料科学和生命科学的跨学科融合。 ADVANCED MATERIALS INTERFACES 于 2014 年推出，2018 年的影响因子为 4.834。ADVANCED MATERIALS INTERFACES 的范围专门针对在几乎所有材料和设备中发挥重要作用的界面和表面。物理、化学、材料科学和生命科学融合在一起，鼓励新的、交叉授粉的想法，这将推动我们对界面过程的理解。ADVANCED MATERIALS INTERFACES 涵盖了界面相关研究的所有主题：油/水分离、应用纳米结构材料、二维材料和异质结构、有机电子器件中的表面和界面、催化和膜、自组装和纳米图案表面、复合材料和涂层材料、技术和医疗应用的生物界面。先进材料界面为表面上的主题提供了一个论坛并与多种格式的科学接口：评论、全文和通讯，以及进度报告和研究新闻。

Advanced Materials Interfaces publishes top-tier research on interface technologies and effects. The journal focuses on various interfaces formed between solids, liquids, and gases, ensuring an interdisciplinary integration of physics, chemistry, materials science, and life sciences. Launched in 2014, Advanced Materials Interfaces had an impact factor of 4.834 in 2018. The journal specifically addresses the critical roles of interfaces and surfaces in nearly all materials and devices, encouraging new cross-pollinated ideas that advance our understanding of interfacial processes. It covers all topics related to interface research, including oil/water separation, application of nanostructured materials, two-dimensional materials and heterostructures, surfaces and interfaces in organic electronic devices, catalysis and membranes, self-assembly and nanopatterned surfaces, composite and coating materials, and biointerfaces in technological and medical applications. Advanced Materials Interfaces provides a forum for surface-related topics and accepts various formats of scientific contributions, including reviews, full articles, communications, progress reports, and research news.
