Abstract
Plastics are alternatives to enable the distribution of industrialized products, especially food. Packaging is versatile and of great importance for the conservation of products. However, plastic packaging impacts the environment and calls for a clean technology and circular economy approach to mitigate the damage. A scientometric analysis of the relationship between plastic packaging production and the circular economy was reviewed based on the premise that research is intrinsically linked to clean technologies. VosViewer software was used to conduct the analysis, and the revision was conducted for discussion and relationship building. We concluded that there is a gap regarding the connection between the circular economy and clean technologies with plastic packaging. The development of technologies that adapt plastic packaging to the circular economy is rarely discussed. To make plastic packaging more environmentally attractive, technologies based on eco-design are necessary to achieve an alternative scenario associated with a more sustainable circular economy.

Abstract
There is an increasing volume of nano-enabled materials in the market. Once composites containing nano-additives are disposed of, weathering could deteriorate their structures, releasing nanoparticles and risking exposure of humans and aquatic organisms. Composite degradation due to environmental aging continues, including structural deterioration resulting in cracking, fragmentation, and release of microplastics and nano-additives to the environment. This research aims to study the degradation and release of initially embedded nanomaterials (NMs) from composites and their toxicity. The molecular interaction of carbon nanotube (CNT)/polymer composites is critical for modifying the polymer properties. This study investigated the interactions of functional multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites which affect their release during accelerated weathering processes. Different epoxy-MWCNT composites were prepared by filling a polymer with pure MWCNTs and MWCNTs functionalized with acid (- COOH ) and amine (- NH 2 ) groups. The physical and chemical changes of aged composites were characterized by gravimetric analysis, contact angle measurements, FTIR, SEM, and laser confocal microscopy. A loss of hydrophobicity was observed for composite surfaces long before surface cracks materialized. Released polymer fragments and nanoparticles were analyzed in wash water using TEM, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The environmental risks for long-term use of CNT-polymer composites and the influence of fillers on the extent of chemical photodegradation depended on the combination of polymer and fillers. If nanoparticles are released from the matrix, the high surface-to-volume ratio and reactivity of NMs make them highly dynamic in environmental systems. Exposure to these released NMs could negatively affect human health and the environment. This study provides fragmentation and CNT particle release data that could describe how molecular-level interactions between functionalized CNTs and epoxy polymers affect the aging and release of CNTs. A toxicity assessment based on a reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation assay and MTS assay for cell viability and activity of the released polymer and CNT fragments and leachate showed moderate levels of cytotoxicity of released materials as compared to pristine epoxy plates.

Abstract
Biopolymers have been used in packaged foods to tackle environmental hazards due to their biodegradability and non-toxic nature. In addition to these merits, they have also several demerits such as poor mechanical properties and low resistance towards water. Nanomaterials have attracted great interest in recent years due to their phenomenal properties that makes them precedent in applications for food packaging as they enhance the mechanical, thermal and gas barriers properties, without compromising with the ability to become non-toxic and biodegradable. The most important nanomaterials used in food packaging are montmorillonite (MMT), zinc oxide (ZnO-NPs) coated silicate, kaolinite, silver NPs (Ag-NPs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2NPs) as these, nanomaterials coated films makes a barrier against oxygen, carbon dioxide and favour compounds. They also possess oxygen scavenging capability, antimicrobial activity and tolerance towards temperature. The most difficult task related to the preparation of these nanocomposites is their complete distribution within the polymer matrix and their compatibility. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for improvement in the performance of nano-packaging materials including mechanical stability, degradability and effectiveness of antibacterial property.

Abstract
Food packaging is an integral component of the global food supply chain, protecting food from dirt, chemical contaminants and microorganisms, and helping to maintain food quality during transport and storage. Much of this packaging relies on modern polymeric materials, which have been developed to help control the exposure of products to light, oxygen and moisture. These have the benefits of being lightweight, cost-effective, reusable, recyclable and resistant to chemical and physical damage. Although traditional polymeric materials can fulfill many of these requirements, efforts continue to maintain or improve packaging performance while reducing the use of raw materials, waste and costs. The use of nanotechnology to produce nanocomposite materials has great promise to improve the characteristics of food packaging, but many of the products are still in their infancy. Only a relatively small number of nanoenabled products have entered the market and many, but not all, occupy niche markets. This chapter briefly describes the areas where nanomaterials have been used in research and commercial products to improve mechanical and barrier properties and to create active and intelligent packaging materials. It also addresses the regulation of nanomaterials in food contact applications and migration when evaluating the safety of these materials.

Abstract
Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy methodology was developed and utilized for the in situ nanoscale measurement of the size of mineral clay agglomerates in various liquid suspensions. The clays studied were organomodified and unmodified montmorillonite clays (I.44p, Cloisite 93a, and PGN). The methodology was compared and validated against dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. The method was able to measure clay agglomerates in solvents in situations where DLS analysis was unsuccessful due to the shapes, polydispersity, and high aspect ratios of the clay particles and the complexity of the aggregates, or dispersion medium. The measured clay agglomerates in suspension were found to be in the nanometer range in the more compatible solvents, and their sizes correlated with the Hansen solubility parameter space distance between the clay modifiers and the solvents. Mass detection limits for size determination were in the range from 1 to 9 mg/L. The methodology thus provides simple, rapid, and inexpensive characterization of clays or particles in the nano- or microsize range in low concentrations in various liquid media, including complex mixtures or highly viscous fluids that are difficult to analyze with DLS. In addition, by combining UV-VIS spectroscopy with DLS it was possible to discern flocculation behavior in liquids, which otherwise could result in false size measurements by DLS alone.

Abstract
Recently, food packages produced with nanoparticles, "nano-food packaging," have become more available in the current market. However, although the use of nanomaterials is increasing in food packaging applications, concern over toxicity affects consumer perceptions and acceptance. Quite a number of commercialized forms of nano-food packaging are coated or composited product with inorganic materials, for example, nanosilver and nanoclay as representative examples. Several studies have shown the possibility of nanomaterial migration from packaging or containers to foodstuff. The debate is still ongoing among researchers about the extent of migration and whether it is negligible and safe. Government agencies and stakeholders must hurry to determine use limitations and release conclusive legislation and regulations as soon as possible since nano-food packaging may have great impacts on human health. This paper aims to review the availability of nano-food packaging in the current market, report case studies on nanomaterial migration, and present the current status of safety regulations and management of nano-food packaging in leading countries across regions. This review should enable governments and researchers to develop further nanomaterial risk assessment studies.

Abstract
Modern food packaging has made great advances as result of global trends and consumer preferences, which are oriented to obtain improved food quality and safety. In this regard, clay minerals, and mainly Montmorillonite (Mt) are attracting considerable interest in food packaging because of the improvements developed in mechanical and barrier properties. Hence, the present work aim to assess the toxicity of four Montmorillonite-based clay minerals, an unmodified clay, Cloisite®Na+ (CNa+), and three modified Mt clays: Cloisite®30B (C30B), a commercial clay, and Clay1 and Clay2, two novel modified organoclays developed by the Packaging, Transport, & Logistics Research Institute (ITENE). First, the cytotoxic effects were studied in the Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC). In addition, the potential mutagenicity of the clays was evaluated by the Ames test. Clay1 did not induce any cytotoxic effects in HUVEC, although it exhibited potential mutagenicity in TA98 Salmonella typhimurium strain. In contrast, Clay2 produced cytotoxicity in endothelial cells but no mutagenicity was recorded. However, CNa+ was not cytotoxic neither mutagenic. And finally, C30B showed positive results in both assays. Therefore, results showed that clay minerals have a different toxicity profile and a case by case toxicity evaluation is required.

Abstract
The food packaging industry is in continuous development in order to obtain more secure and stable food and beverages. The incorporation of inorganic and organic materials with plastic polymers leads to polymer composites. Among the inorganic compounds, clays such as montmorillonite (MTT) and its derivatives are of great interest due to their advantageous properties. The Technological Institute of Packaging, Transport,and Logistics (ITENE) developed a novel nanocomposite based on a poly(lactic) acid (PLA) polymer using an MMT derivative, named Clay1, as filler, to be used in the beverage industry. The improvement of the technological properties of this new material was demonstrated, but safety issues are also of concern. In the present study, a histopathological examination by optical and electron microscopy of organs from Wistar rats exposed for 90 d to a migration extract of PLA-Clay1 nanocomposite was carried out. Moreover, different clinical biochemistry, inflammation,and oxidative stress biomarkers were determined. Results showed no apparent evidence of damage, indicating that this nanocomposite has a good profile to be used in the food packaging industry, although further research is still needed.

Abstract
Although clays are wildly used in a range of applications, the toxicity assessment of these new materials is still scarce. In the present study, oxidative stress induced by Clay 1, a novel clay, was determined in rats after 90 d of oral exposure. The activities of antioxidant enzymes, namely, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione S-transferase (GST), were examined. In addition, genetic expressions of SOD and CAT and relative protein abundance of CAT were also determined. Data showed that most of the biomarkers assayed remained unaltered. Only CAT activity, as well as its genetic and protein expressions, appeared enhanced in the kidney. Therefore, further studies are needed to clarify the relevance and consequences of these findings to ensure the safety of this clay.
