A novel fully biobased material composite for cosmetic packaging applications.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The extensive production and use of fossil-based plastics have led to their ubiquity worldwide, causing growing concern and environmental problems. Consequently, developing biobased polymers and biobased composite materials, aligned with circular economy principles, is now the focus as a sustainable alternative to fossil-based plastics. This work aimed to develop and characterise a new, fully biobased, and biodegradable material composite with properties similar to traditional fossil-based plastics, allowing its use in cosmetic product applications as an alternative to commonly used fossil-based plastics. A novel biobased composite comprising poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), polylactic acid (PLA) chitosan (CS), acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) plant essential oils, and phycocyanin was successfully developed and processed using various techniques confirming its processability and versatility. Characterisation of the developed composites showed a reduction in mechanical properties with the addition of ATBC, essential oil and phycocyanin, with tensile results within the typical behaviour for PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene). The thermal properties of the developed composites showed working temperatures in the same range as PP and PE. The results obtained are promising and, to the best of our knowledge, this work presents the first green material composite comprising PHBV, PLA, CS, essential oil, ATBC, and phycocyanin specifically designed for cosmetic packaging as a sustainable alternative to fossil-based plastics.
