Abstract
The global increase in waste and pollution has heightened the need for sustainable solutions, particularly in packaging. Sustainable packaging aims to minimize environmental impact through various strategies, including the use of biodegradable materials, recycling, and reducing resource consumption. This review paper examines the current state of sustainable packaging, its role in reducing environmental pollution, and the challenges and opportunities associated with its implementation. The paper synthesizes findings from previous studies, highlighting the effectiveness of sustainable packaging practices and suggesting future research directions.
