Renuka Ramanujam, CEO of HUID (the Dutch word for skin) is a former textiles student who first used onion skins as a source of clothing dye. The 30-year-old&#8217;s company sources waste peel from farmers and agricultural businesses and is developing a cardboard-like material, as well as an alternative to flexible film.<\/p>\n<p>Onion skins have anti-microbial properties, meaning the packaging could help extend the shelf life of perishable foods. Producing the eco-packaging involves extracting high-quality cellulose from outer onion skins and combining it with a biopolymer blend. Polymers are very long chain molecules made from small repeating units &#8211; biopolymers are polymers made from natural sources like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. HUID is attempting to reduce waste as UK households throw away an estimated 90 billion pieces of plastic packaging annually.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Ramanujam also hopes to replace cardboard and paper packaging. \u201cTrees are super important to the environment, because of the animals they home and the carbon they hold,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Onions don\u2019t have that responsibility. &#8220;Our material would save trees.\u201d Ms Ramanujam believes packaging is here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c17l8zd4zqxo\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-607\/\">Business creating onion skin packaging to reduce waste<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,16449,829],"class_list":["post-134444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-onion-skin","tag-packaging"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134444\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
