A critical overview of current approaches to the development of starch-containing packaging, integrating the principles of green chemistry (GC), green technology (GT) and green nanotechnology (GN) with those of green packaging (GP) to produce materials important for both us and the planet is given. First, as a relationship between GP and GC, the benefits of natural bioactive compounds are analyzed and the state-of-the-art is updated in terms of the starch packaging incorporating green chemicals that normally help us to maintain health, are environmentally friendly and are obtained via GC. Newer approaches are identified, such as the incorporation of vitamins or minerals into films and coatings. Second, the relationship between GP and GT is assessed by analyzing the influence on starch films of green physical treatments such as UV, electron beam or gamma irradiation, and plasma; emerging research areas are proposed, such as the use of cold atmospheric plasma for the production of films. Thirdly, the approaches on how GN can be used successfully to improve the mechanical properties and bioactivity of packaging are summarized; current trends are identified, such as a green synthesis of bionanocomposites containing phytosynthesized metal nanoparticles. Last but not least, bioinspiration ideas for the design of the future green packaging containing starch are presented.

There are increasing intrest in research on corn based bioplastic to replace current plastic. However, corn based bioplastic faces a major drawback which are lack water barrier and poor mechanical properties resulting from its hydophilic properties. To produce better corn based bioplastic properties, a lot of research has been focuses on blend corn based bioplastic with other co biopolymer or additives and also radiation. By using radiation corn based bioplastic will induce degradation, cross linking or grafting and next the properties of corn based bioplastic will be improve in aspect of mechanical, physical and barrier properties and also acceptable to use as packaging material. Irradiated corn based bioplastic also have wide range of technology, the availability, less harmful to environment and the most important is the potential to use as packaging material. There is hot debate about using irradiated corn based bioplastic as packaging material. This review paper will be discussing and also to provide information on influence of radiation on the properties corn based bioplastic and its feasibility as packaging material.
