520			_aThis study investigates the potential of banana peel-based biodegradable food packaging as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging, with a particular focus on reducing food waste among Home Economics students. It aims to address environmental challenges by exploring the viability of eco-friendly packaging solutions that align with sustainability goals and consumer preferences. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing surveys and semi-structured interviews to assess the packaging's design, durability, sustainability, and sanitary qualities. Findings indicate strong consumer approval of the packaging's eco- friendliness, design appeal, and functionality. High satisfaction levels were noted in areas such as sustainability and durability, where respondents agreed on its effectiveness in protecting food and supporting environmental goals. Based on these findings, the study recommends improving material durability, investigating cost-effective production methods, and assessing market feasibility to support broader adoption. Future researchers are encouraged to investigate the commercial viability and scalability of banana peel-based packaging to assess its potential impact in mainstream markets. This research supports the use of biodegradable food packaging as an effective and sustainable solution to plastic waste challenges, aligning with environmental objectives and consumer preferences.
