Fig. 1: Representation of LEAFF life cycle.

Depicted is the synthetic route of LEAFF synthesis from sustainably derived cellulose fibers coated with the biopolymer polylactic acid. The LEAFF film shows exceptional barrier properties to oxygen and water along with high transparency and a high tensile strength. At the end of its life, LEAFF can rapidly biodegrade due to microbial digestion in less than 5 weeks. Created in BioRender. Dhatt, P. (https://BioRender.com/gvyekxr).
