Food packaging is critical to delaying food spoilage, maintaining quality, reducing waste, and ensuring safety. However, the environmental problems associated with petroleum-based materials have led a search for sustainable alternatives. Bio-based are emerging as such alternatives, but they limitations low mechanical strength poor moisture resistance. Fortunately, nature’s insights guide solutions these challenges, propelling evolution of high-performance bio-based packaging. These new characterized by impact resistance, superhydrophobicity, self-healing capabilities, dynamic controlled release, high strength, real-time freshness monitoring. Nature-inspired strategies not only focus on enhancing material performance also introduce innovative design concepts that effectively avoid homogenization inspire researchers develop diverse, cutting-edge solutions. Overcoming existing endowing them breakthrough properties key drivers their replacement plastics. This review provides into application biomimetics in functionality clearly articulates plastic materials. By systematically integrating research findings, this paper identifies challenges facing nature-inspired innovations points way future development.
