Agricultural Waste-Derived Nanocellulose Composites in Pharmaceutical Packaging: Barrier Performance, Regulatory Considerations and Translational Gaps
Abstract: Pharmaceutical primary packaging is dominated by poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly (vinylidene chloride) laminates and cold-form aluminium, chosen for barrier performance rather than end-of-life behaviour. Nanocellulose from agricultural residues is widely proposed as a renewable alternative, but almost the entire evidence base has been generated against food-packaging requirements.
