Development of Sustainable Packaging Using Agricultural Residues such as Rise Straw and Coffee Pulp in Peru

Abstract

The presented research paper investigates a socio-environmental project that consists of the development of a sustainable packaging, based on organic waste such as coffee and rice. Peru is a global rice and coffee producer, exporter, and distributor country. Therefore, it has a great supply of agricultural residues. In the case of coffee, a considerable amount of waste is generated such as the pulp, the shell, the breadth, and the fresh water; in the case of rice, the residues include the shell and the straw. Based on these materials, our packaging “La Peruana Coffee” will be marketed as a sustainable container for processed coffee, especially intended for coffee consumers in the city of Lima, Peru
