This document discusses a biocoating that provides high gas and aroma barrier performance for plastic films as a more sustainable packaging solution. Some key points: 1. The biocoating can be applied to any plastic film to provide excellent oxygen and moisture barrier properties while maintaining transparency. 2. It allows packaging materials to be more easily recycled and composted, replacing multi-material laminates with simpler "mono-material" structures. 3. Examples highlighted include applying the biocoating to PLA films to create compostable food packaging with barrier properties comparable to aluminum foil.
