Abstract :Food waste from different sources is an environmental burden. In food technology, plastics and polymers are an alternative option for food packaging, food preservation and preservation, and recycling of food waste. Today, almost all plastics are produced synthetically and have much better properties than naturally occurring plastics. The raw materials of all modern plastics are petroleum and natural gas. Due to the nondegradable properties of these raw materials, it is supported to reduce the cost of production in plastics by offering an environmentalist approach option. In this review, for polymers such as polyhydroxy alkanoates insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PHA); Poly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3-hydroxybutyrate); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PHB);, Polylactic acid, Polylactide aliphatic copolymer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CPLA);, Polycaprolactone insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PCL);, polyhydroxy-co-3-butyrate-co-3-valerate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PHBV); focuses on available technologies for polymers. Fermentation technologies based on pure and mixed cultures are of particular importance in the preparation of raw materials insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(prepared from food waste); for true bioplastic production. In this study, alternative methods are provided for the evaluation of food wastes, their economical/technical approaches meeting the expectations and applicability, and the reduction of waste by solving food wastes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FW); with environmentally friendly renewable polymer packages.
