3. Paddy husk, also known as rice husk or rice hull, is the protective outer layer of
rice grains. It is a natural byproduct of rice milling and is often considered an
agricultural waste. However, paddy husk has gained significant attention in
recent years due to its potential as a valuable and sustainable resource. This
organic material possesses several unique properties that make it suitable for
various applications, including its use in the production of eco-friendly food
packaging.
INTRODUCTION

4. TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE FOOD PACKAGING MATERIALS UTILIZING PADDY HUSK, AN
ORGANIC AND RENEWABLE RESOURCE, TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
• Reduce the environmental impact associated with
conventional packaging materials used in the food
industry.
• Quantify and document the reductions in greenhouse
gas emissions, energy consumption, and waste
generation compared to conventional packaging
materials.
• Conserve valuable natural resources by repurposing
agricultural waste.
AIM

Performance Testing: Evaluate the mechanical, barrier, and biodegradability
properties of the produced packaging materials.
Material Processing: Develop a cost-effective and eco-friendly method for
processing paddy husk into packaging materials.
Environmental Impact Assessment: Quantify the environmental benefits of using
paddy husk-based packaging compared to traditional materials.
Feasibility Study: Determine the economic feasibility and scalability of
mass-producing paddy husk-based food packaging.

6. METHODOLOGY Literature Review:
Conduct an extensive review of
existing research on paddy husk as a
packaging material to understand its
properties and potential applications.
Material Characterization:
Analyze the physical and chemical
properties of paddy husk to assess its
suitability for food packaging.
Processing Optimization:
Experiment with various processing
techniques (e.g., compounding,
molding) to optimize the
transformation of paddy husk into
packaging material.
Experiment with various processing techniques (e.g., compounding, molding) to optimize the transformation of paddy husk into packaging material.
Testing and Validation:
Perform rigorous testing, including
tensile strength, moisture resistance,
and biodegradability tests, to ensure
the quality and functionality of the
packaging.
Life Cycle Assessment:
Conduct a comprehensive
environmental assessment to
compare the environmental footprint
of paddy husk-based packaging with
conventional alternatives.
