A review of food packaging materials and its impact on environment

Abstract

Packaging is an art, science, and technology that aim to assure service performance, hygiene standards, purity, and reliability. It is a process that coordinates the preparation of items for transportation, delivery, storage, marketing, and eventual end-use. Good packaging plays a crucial role in providing clean and safe food to customers. Food packaging may play a vital role in food safety by including a variety of protective features. Proper packaging reduces trash while also ensuring that the product maintains its desired quality. The most prominent endeavour in this direction is the shift away from plastics and toward natural fiber composites. This review research paper explores the different types of food packaging styles, the future of food packaging and also the impact of food packaging on the environment.
