Helya Khademsameni, Reza Jafari University of Quebec at Chicoutimi 555 Boulevard de l'Université, Chicoutimi, QC G7H 2B1 Polymers are being used in various industries and applications every day. One of the most popular markets for polymers is packaging and to be more precise, polymer food packaging is in high demand these days. As the use of polymers increases, the waste of these materials has become a worldwide issue. Therefore biodegradable polymers can be good substitutions. The only thing that must be taken into consideration is that apart from biodegradability, the biopolymers must at least have properties their nonbio counterparts offer, let alone to have additional properties their competitors lack. Food packaging requires various properties such as acceptable amount of tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, compression, gas permeability (CO2 and O2), and water vapour permeability (WVP). Some researchers concentrate on using bio packaging materials that would show the required properties, others tend to modify the material to reach the proper properties. Among various forms of biopolymers, biofibers can be a good asset in this field due to their ease of production, mechanical properties, impressive effect on the decrease of water vapor permeability, and their biodegradability. This work will discuss the biofibers used to enhance the quality of food packaging that would lead to a decrease in environmental issues to their biodegradability.
