Plastic films in food packaging : materials, technology and applications /
The value of the groceries purchases in the USA is over 500 billion annually, most of which is accounted for by packaged foods. Plastic packaging of foods is not only ubiquitous in developed economies, but increasingly commonplace in the developing world, where plastic packaging is instrumental in d...
