Packaging has become an indispensable element of manufacturing processes. Packing does not only adequately protect/preserve foods from microorganisms; biological, physical, and chemical changes, thus providing longer shelf life; it also makes transportation of food easier . Several materials are utilized in food and beverage packaging including glass, metals, paper/paperboard, ceramics, wax, and wood. However, plastics remain desirable materials of choice, due to their light weight, durability, chemical inertness, thermosealabilty, microwavability, hydrophobicity, optical properties, malleability, and flexibility . They are inexpensive, versatile, hygienic, flexible, strong, highly durable, corrosion and chemical resistant materials with high thermal and electrical insulation properties. The diversity of plastics and the versatility of their properties are used to make a variety of products used in construction, packaging, automobiles, electronics, and household goods we use daily leading to advances in technology and medicine, energy savings, and several societal benefits . Consequently, plastic production has augmented exponentially over the past years from approximately 0.5 million tons in 1950 to above 250 million tons today . Hence, human exposure to plastic products is inevitable. Since plastics are extremely diverse in terms of possible applications, they are widely distributed in the environment. This expansion in polymer types and uses resulted in increasing complexity in the formulations of plastic polymers and hence the sophisticated nature of today's commercially available plastics .
