FROM BIOLOGICALLY DEGRADABLE SUBSTANCES FOOD PACKAGING AND PRODUCTION METHOD UTILIZED TECHNICAL FIELD The invention uses biological materials as a raw material instead of plastic in the production of food packaging. by using biodegradable materials, resulting from plastic production It helps reduce harmful gas emissions; it supports environmental sustainability. It relates to a food packaging production method that offers an innovative solution to waste management. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Traditionally, food packaging has been made from a variety of materials including plastic, glass, metal, and paper. Materials are used. Plastic, due to its lightness / flexibility and water resistance. It is a particularly popular choice for this reason. However, plastic packaging materials, for a long time creating long-term environmental damage and the challenges of recycling It is receiving increasing criticism because of its use in the food industry. Other traditional packaging materials include styrene, polyethylene, and polypropylene. These include synthetic polymers; these materials generally have high durability / They offer cost-effectiveness but are not biodegradable. Climate change and deforestation, resulting from carbon emissions, Habitat loss and epidemics are increasing. Landslides, floods and storms. The increase in the frequency of natural disasters such as these disrupts seasonal cycles and climate balance. It causes malfunctions. The plastic used in packaging takes hundreds of years to biodegrade in nature. It is a durable material. When left in nature as waste, it remains there for a long time, harming the environment. It pollutes and negatively impacts the ecosystem. 2 Plastic packaging gradually turns into microplastics. These tiny particles... They harm the health of living organisms by entering water sources, marine life, and the food chain. and some types of plastics, with temperature changes and / or prolonged use They can release toxic chemicals. These chemicals contaminate both food and humans. It threatens his health. Many plastic packaging materials are non-recyclable and / or cannot be recycled. These are species that are recovered with low efficiency during the process. This also affects waste management. This makes things more difficult and poses a serious long-term threat to the ecosystem balance. Plastic waste cannot be biodegraded and therefore remains for years, even in some cases. In some cases, they can remain in the environment for centuries. This applies not only to soil and water. It not only degrades the quality, but also negatively affects plant and animal life. It endangers biodiversity by affecting many marine environments. Plastic pollution in the seas affects many marine environments. This causes the organism to swallow these wastes and disrupt the food chain. is happening. For this purpose, materials that are completely biodegradable in nature and that do not have negative effects on the environment while decomposing are used. The need for packaging materials that do not create adverse effects is increasing every day. is increasing. Agricultural waste contributes to environmental pollution, biodiversity loss, and human health problems. It causes the spread of pathogens that pose a threat. Furthermore, agricultural waste is not good for... Failure to manage it leads to economic losses and contributes to climate change. It is located. Consequently, due to the aforementioned drawbacks and shortcomings, the relevant The need for an innovation in the technical field has arisen. 3 THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The overall purpose of the invention is to create a complete system that meets the requirements mentioned above. especially food products that eliminate disadvantages and bring some additional advantages. using biodegradable materials instead of plastic as raw materials in packaging production harmful gases resulting from plastic production are eliminated by the use of these materials.

Mycelium hyphae surround these waste products and enable growth. Water Reservoir: Water is used to create the dough mixture. The mycelium resides in the water. It is distributed homogeneously. Dough Mixer: Mycelium and water are mixed into a homogeneous mixture in this mixer. It is brought in. The resin is also added to the mixture at this stage. Resin Distribution System: Ensures that the resin added to the mixer is evenly distributed into the dough mixture. and ensures even distribution. Dough Container: The dough mixture (mycelium, water, and resin mixture) is placed in this container. It is stored and conveyed to the packaging machine. Sieve (Packaging Machine): The diluted dough is poured onto the sieve. The sieve separates the water. It allows the water to filter and the fibers to accumulate and form a layer. Press Rollers: The wet packaging layer formed on the sieve passes through the rollers. This process allows excess water to be removed and the material to be compressed. Drying Unit: The pressed packaging sheet is completely dried in this unit. It is dried and its water content is minimized. Wax Coating Unit: Dried packaging layer coated with melted wax. By coating it, the mycelium layer is prevented from coming into contact with the food, and water is drawn into the packaging. It is made impermeable. Cooling and Curing Area: The wax-coated packaging is cooled. The beeswax is allowed to harden and the layer is fixed in place. 7 Cutting and Shaping Unit: Sheets for forming the final product into packaging. It is cut and shaped to the desired / required dimensions. This production technique uses the natural binding structure of mycelium to ensure sustainability. It provides a packaging solution. Cultivation of mycelium and strengthening with resin. Thanks to this, flexible, durable and water-resistant packaging is obtained.
