Packaging and its impact with regard to pollution are extensively debated during the past two decades. it is expected that introducing nanotechnology for said application should considerably mitigate the pollution.
Dear Shahida Anusha Siddiqui, nanotechnology itself is questionable about pollution. Toxicity of nanoparticles and its Materials is arising increasingly. However, some issues are intended to tune the structural parameters to favor both biodegradation and biocompatibility. If the packaging material you are dealing with belongs to this strategy then it is possible that nanotechnology is intended to mitigate pollution. My Regards

Nanotechnology helps in optimum utilization of raw material and reduces waste production. Please read this paper :
Application of Nanotechnology for waste management: Challenges and limitations.
I agree with post of Dr Bouaziz partially . Use of nano particles should not be encouraged without giving due consideration to other side of this technology. Environmental issues are barely addressed in mad rush to recommend newer strategies. Nano-particles have some success in packaging of fruit juice but the likelihood of mixing of these nano particles with juice over time of storage is yet to be answered through replicated studies .
Hi;
Scientists working in the relatively unknown field of environmental nanotechnology argue that working on a nanoscale should not be at the expense of the environment. Studies have shown that nanotechnology can be used not only to control and prevent pollution, but also to remove pollutants when they have already entered the environment.
With my best regards
Definitely, nanotechnology may help in mitigating the pollution. But nanotechnology should be employed after gaining proper knowledge of the matter for a particular problem
