Barrier<br />
While Bioboard offers a new, biobased, extrudable<br />
solution and contributes to the available knowledge about<br />
protein extrusion, it also exhibits good benefits in terms<br />
of the environment, as it is based on waste and promotes<br />
recycling and composting practices for post-consumer<br />
packaging. However, more research is needed to overcome<br />
the remaining hurdles, such as improving processability<br />
of the material so that it could be used industrially in<br />
packaging and no-packaging applications in the future.<br />
