Summary

This review examines nanotechnology applications in sustainable food packaging, covering how nano-enhanced biodegradable biopolymers improve barrier properties and food safety while addressing plastic pollution and reducing reliance on conventional single-use plastics.

This thorough analysis examines how nanotechnology is transforming a number of industries, with a primary focus on packaging materials. Through the improvement of biodegradable biopolymer-based materials functional performance, nanotechnology has completely transformed the packaging sector. These developments support food safety and sustainability in addition to enhancing packaging qualities. The study also addresses the use of nanotechnology in water filtration systems to lessen the use of plastic bottles, addressing issues related to plastic pollution that affect the environment and human health. It also draws attention to the difficulties and possibilities associated with applying nanotechnology and biodegradable polymers to reduce the amount of plastic trash generated and boost the effectiveness of environmental cleanup procedures. The paper also explores the advantages and disadvantages of nanoplastic particles, highlighting the need for more investigation to fully comprehend their effects on the environment.
