Summary This article aimed at reviewing recent developments shaping the future of antimicrobial edible food packaging. The main issues discussed in are (i) factors (e.g. waste valorisation, sustainability, health and environmental concerns, religious etc.) causing emerging alternative hydrocolloids extracted from farming/processing wastes plants, animals, fungi, insects, snails, etc. as packaging material; (ii) methods manufacturing extruded co‐extruded casings, electrospun mats, electrosprayed films, coatings particles); (iii) concepts using natural antimicrobials such narrow‐ or broad‐spectrum antimicrobials, synergetic mixtures, controlled release strategies based on nanoencapsulation Pickering emulsions, nanoemulsions, inclusion complexes, solid lipid nanoparticles nanostructured carriers). review helps discovering active that is expected to play a central role improving safety quality, human environmentally friendly practices.
