The first book to cover this innovative topic provides readers with the laws and products applied in modern-day packaging technology before using numerous fascinating illustrations to show proven packaging solutions found in nature.
The authors formulate strategies and concrete action plans for using biological examples and bionic methodologies to solve and prevent current technical problems. The whole has but one overriding aim: sustainable development while balancing economic and environmental concerns. The goal is to motivate student and professional engineers to take more interest in the natural biological solutions and to systematically learn from these examples.
