Abstract

The work aims to overcome the technical bottlenecks hindering the industrialization of bamboo-based materials in food packaging, establish a sustainable bamboo instead of plastic material system, and provide theoretical foundations and technological pathways for achieving green transformation in food packaging and carbon neutrality goals. Based on the classification of core bamboo-based materials, the research progress of bamboo-based materials in antibacterial preservation, barrier properties, and mechanical properties were analyzed. The conclusion shows that bamboo-based materials are gradually becoming a feasible alternative to petroleum-based plastics. However, their industrialization is constrained by core bottlenecks, including the decline in moisture barrier performance due to strong hygroscopicity, fiber degradation during thermoplastic processing, and life-cycle cost control. In the future, it is necessary to accelerate their large-scale application in the food packaging field through micro-nano structure regulation, innovation in green processing technologies, and policy-driven measures, so as to support the sustainable development of the packaging industry under the "double carbon" goals.
