        abstract = {This review highlights recent advancements in the development of biopolymer packaging materials derived from cellulose extracted from pineapple peel, emphasizing its potential as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic packaging. Cellulose, the most abundant natural polymer, is known for its biodegradability, renewability, and non-toxicity, making it an ideal candidate for green packaging applications. Pineapple peel, a commonly discarded agricultural waste, is rich in cellulose and represents a promising raw material for producing biodegradable films. The review examines the sources of cellulose with a particular focus on pineapple peel and evaluates various extraction techniques, including chemical and environmentally friendly methods, aimed at optimizing yield and quality. It also explores modifications of cellulose through physical and chemical treatments to enhance mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties essential for packaging functionality. The versatility and biodegradability of cellulose-based films, along with their potential to reduce plastic waste, are discussed, as well as challenges related to scalability and production cost. Emerging applications in food packaging and other sustainable material uses are considered. Future research directions include improving extraction efficiency, enhancing film properties through biopolymer blending, and expanding the application scope of pineapple peel-derived cellulose films. Overall, this review underscores the potential of pineapple peel cellulose as a low-cost, sustainable biopolymer for packaging materials, contributing meaningfully to the reduction of plastic pollution.},
