Abstract
Approximately half of all garbage generated globally is attributed to packaging waste, making it a substantial contribution to global waste levels. The growing environmental issues related to food packaging waste require immediate investigation of possible remedies One of the biggest challenges is dealing with disposable things, like straws, cups, lids, cutlery, takeaway containers, and bags. They damage ecosystems in addition to adding to packing trash. This research endeavors to address this imperative by investigating innovative methods for both packaging and disposal, with the overarching aim of waste minimization of food packing. Through a comprehensive review of literature, this study synthesizes existing knowledge on sustainable packaging materials, including biodegradable polymers, compostable materials, and recyclable alternatives. By considering the entire lifecycle of food packaging, from production to end-of-life disposal, this study aims to provide holistic insights into sustainable practices that minimize environmental footprint and resource depletion.
