Abstract

The food packaging industry massively relies on petroleum-based plastics for their convenience and appeal in agro, food, and packaging sectors. Challenges include the safe disposal and limited renewability of petroleum-based plastics. The growing interest in bio-plastics as asolution to environmental concerns is becoming more evident. Bio-plastic is derived from renewable resources like starch and cellulose and is known for its safety and eco-friendliness in food applications. The Research aims to improve their mechanical and water barrier. Ongoing research is being conducted on starch-based sustainable packaging materials to develop bio- plastics that meet the specific needs of the food packaging industry.
