The Dow Chemicals developed the first plastic wrap in 1933 and the company commercialized the product as ‘saran plastic wrap’ in 1949. Initially, food wrap films were made of polyvinyl chloride; however, now, there are number of alternative materials available for the manufacturing of this film. Currently, majority of the consumers are increasingly focusing on using food wrap films, which are approved by the government-authorized bodies such as FDA, for food contact. The most commonly used raw materials for the production of food wrap films are polyolefin, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. Besides, there has been a significant rise in the usage of biodegradable materials for food packaging. Researchers and manufacturers, in collaboration, are trying to modify conventional plastic and innovate new materials for ensuring and maintaining safe and hygienic food packaging practices. Food wrap films made out of these new materials are ideal for direct food contact, in view of their various beneficial features, such as they offer resistance to external environment, are suited for freezer and cold storage use, are smoke and odor free, and are also durable.
