Non-biodegradable packaging has a significant negative effect on the environment, so scientists have been working to create biodegradable packaging materials (BPM) with advanced features to ensure the safe and high-quality transportation of various goods while minimizing damage to the environment. The replacement of petroleum-based plastics with biodegradable polymer-based composite packaging is a current topic of discussion. This is because packaging made from petroleum is extremely harmful to the ecosystem. The mechanical characteristics of bioresource-based biodegradable polymer films are still low, and using two or three bio-resource components as polymer hybrids is necessary. Flexible, strong, heat- and environmental-resistant, and more, this film hybrid polymer offers many potential uses and applications in packaging and product design. The features of the biodegradable, as well as its potential for future development, along with the use of biomass sources as a matrix and filler in hybrid polymer-based packaging. In this context, the present review describes polymer-based packaging materials, biodegradable film, and nanocomposites as packaging materials. These eco-friendly, biodegradable hybrid polymer films are the result of extensive research into polymers and composites based on biodegradable film as packaging materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
