The study highlights specific reasons for the clothing sector, such as moisture-resistant bio-coatings intended for long-distance transportation and antibacterial wraps. The incorporation of textile waste into packaging systems provides a possible route toward a circular economy that replaces the natural environment with nutrients, overcoming difficulties like high production expenses and the requirement for professional composting. Because traditional plastic packaging is not biodegradable, it contributes extremely to pollution; therefore, the identification of sustainable replacements is crucial. The development of biodegradable packaging from basic starch films to high-performance bio-nanocomposites made of renewable resources like fibers from textiles and waste from agriculture is analyzed in this review. The main goal is to increase the mechanical strength and circularity of materials for packing by considering a variety of secondary textile fibers like cotton, jute, and hemp
