ABSTRACT The increasing environmental impact of plastic waste from food packaging has intensified the demand for sustainable alternatives. Starch‐based films, particularly thermoplastic starch (TPS), are considered promising due to their biodegradability and renewable origin; however, their application is limited by poor mechanical strength and low water resistance. This review focuses on the use of nanocellulose as a reinforcing agent in TPS‐based bionanocomposites. It discusses the types and properties of nanocellulose and highlights its effectiveness in improving mechanical strength, barrier performance, and overall functionality of starch‐based materials. Although nanocellulose reinforcement significantly enhances packaging performance, challenges related to production cost and processing efficiency remain. Further research is, therefore, required to support large‐scale industrial application of these sustainable packaging materials.
