Summary/Abstract: This study examines polymer-based materials used in sports nutrition packaging, focusing on protecting, extending shelf life, and preserving nutritional qualities. It evaluates both conventional polymers like polyethylene and biodegradable options like polylactic acid, addressing challenges of chemical migration and plastic pollution. The research highlights the importance of material selection, recycling, and renewable sources. Innovations, such as nanocellulose integration with polylactic acid, enhance packaging’s mechanical and barrier properties, improving shelf life and reducing environmental impact, underscoring the importance of advanced polymers in sustainable sports nutrition packaging
