“…Carus et al also concluded that consumers were willing to pay an additional 10% above the market price for food packaged in biobased containers. Gill et al (2020) estimated consumer WTP for dinnerware plates molded from wheat straw using contingent valuation methods. Gill et al found that Tennessee consumers would pay an additional $1.35 for a 25-count package of SUEW made with molded wheat straw.…”

Biobased productsare non-food goods derived from agricultural and forestry materials. Products made from biomaterials could substitute for petroleumbased inputs used to make everyday household goods. This studyestimates consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for the attributes of single-use eating-ware (SUEW) plates made from biobased materials. Attributes considered are product material, degradability, product labeling, and biomass origin. The study controls for inattention and availability bias on attribute premium. Results suggest

“…Consumer preferences provides an accurate prediction of consumer choices due to its consistency on trade-off the attributes ( Amir and Levav, 2008 ; Bither and Wright, 1977 ), therefore mapping the relationship between user preferences and product attributes become a fundamental task in the product design process ( Chen et al, 2020 ). Several experts studied in eco-friendly preferences in the various object, include appliances ( Gill et al, 2020 ; Kulshreshtha et al, 2019 ; Sonnenberg et al, 2014 ), fabric and fashion ( Gano-an, 2018 ; Na and Kim, 2012 ), vehicles ( Kim et al, 2019 ; Tarigan, 2019 ; Won, 2014 ), and furniture ( Khojasteh-Khosro et al, 2020 ). The undeveloped studies on eco-friendly face masks preferences indicated of the importance in fast-paced investigations to present up-to-date information.…”

Eco-friendly face mask is necessity to reduce the aggravates the environment due to increased face masks waste during COVID-19 pandemic. The successful eco-friendly masks development influenced by understanding of user’s need and effectiveness of communications. The employed conjoint analysis obtained user mask preferences information to support effective communication strategies by business enterprises and policy makers on encouraging public to consume appropriate masks. The attribute importance followed from eco-friendly (32.1%), mask certification (26.5%), filtration efficiency (19.8%), price (13.9%), layers (5.6%), type of mask (1.5%), material (0.7%). The public expecting the mask with the ability to recycled and biodegradable, with certification, performance above 90% filtration efficiency, and affordable prices in the range of Rp.1.500-Rp.25.000. Also, 3-ply fabrics for the medical type and cotton material are generally preferred to polyester/polypropylene. The government needs to improve the effectiveness masks education, provide convenience process to masks certification by manufacturers, and provision of incentives to reduce masks production cost. Meanwhile, manufacturers ensure produce of the standard eco-friendly masks in affordable pricing. Furthermore, gender did not show significant effect on preferences, but varied with average expenditure.

“…(Korbelyiova et al 2021). Driven by the growing concern of the consumers about the environment in recent years, the market value of the plastic-free disposable plates is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.6% to reach from 4.26 billion USD in 2020 to 5.96 billion USD in 2027 (Acumen Research and Consulting 2020; Gill et al 2020).…”

Recyclable cellulose nanofibril (CNF) and lignin-containing cellulose nanofibril (LCNF) coated wood flour composites were fabricated using a vacuum-filtration process for food serving applications. The coated cellulose nanofibril composites had excellent mechanical, and oil, and grease barrier properties compared to a commercial container. However, the composites with both LCNF and CNF coating layers had poor performance in wet conditions compared to the commercial container. The addition of 1 wt.% aluminum sulfate (alum) to the CNF and LCNF coating layer significantly improved the water-resistance of the composites. CNF +1% alum coated composites had inferior water resistance and lower mechanical strength in wet conditions compared to the commercial container. However, the LCNF +1% alum coated composites had comparable water resistance and higher wet mechanical properties than the commercial container. The recyclability of the composites was assessed through the disintegration of the samples in water and subsequent reformation, and it was found that the composites were fully recyclable. The composites could fully retain their mechanical and excellent oil and grease barrier properties after each recycling level. These recyclable fully bio-based nanocomposites can be an eco-friendly alternative for currently used food container systems that use harmful chemicals.
