“…For example, cellulosic substrates have been coupled to various non-cellulosic materials, such as: plastic polymers (e.g. polyethylene -PE and polyethylene terephthalate -PET); natural waxes; and aluminum foil (Deshwal et al, 2019;Mir, Wani, Wani, Singh, & Wani, 2017).…”

“…Contrarily, paper with discontinuous layer of wax are obtained by use of heated rollers and called as dry-waxed. Wax usually cracks at lower temperature and also due to folding of paper thus hampering the barrier properties which is overcome by use of resins or plastic polymers (Mir et al 2017). Bread, biscuits, dairy products (UHT milk and cream), sandwich, cakes, sunflower oil and breakfast cereals are most commonly packed using waxed paper.…”

Pulp and paper industry is one of the major sector in every country of the globe contributing not only to Gross Domestic Product but surprisingly to environmental pollution and health hazards also. Paper and paperboard based material is the one of the earliest and largest used packaging form for food products like milk and milk based products, beverages, dry powders, confectionary, bakery products etc. owing to its eco-friendly hallmark. Various toxic chemicals like printing inks, phthalates, surfactants, bleaching agents, hydrocarbons etc. are incorporated in the paper during its development process which leaches into the food chain during paper production, food consumption and recycling through water discharges. Recycling is considered the best option for replenishing the loss to environment but paper can be recycled maximum six to seven times and paper industry waste is very diverse in nature and composition. Various paper disposal methods like incineration, landfilling, pyrolysis and composting are available but their process optimization becomes a barrier. This review article aims at discussing in detail the use of paper and paper based packaging materials for food applications and painting a wide picture of various health and environmental issues related to the usage of paper and paper based packaging material in food industry. A brief comparison of the environmental aspects of paper production, recycling and its disposal options (incineration and land filling) had also been discussed.
