The increasing food packaging waste is a severe concern for air, water, and soil pollution. In this research work, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is fabricated using waste food packaging Aluminium cover foils and laboratory parafilm for the first time. The device novelty lies in the selection of the materials; parafilm and food packing Aluminium cover foils. The proposed TENG produced an output voltage and instantaneous power density of ∼4 V and 11.8 nW cm⁻², respectively, by hand excitation force. Further, TENG can easily power up 85 commercial light-emitting diodes, digital watch, thermometer, and calculator with the help of charged capacitor. The proposed TENG demonstrated the ease of process, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reduction of pollution. Further, this TENG performance can be improved with other triboelectric materials and applied in self-powered portable electronic device applications.

不断增加的食品包装垃圾是空气、水和土壤污染的一个严重问题。在这项研究工作中，首次使用垃圾食品包装铝箔和实验室封口膜制造了摩擦纳米发电机（TENG）。设备的新颖之处在于材料的选择；封口膜和食品包装 铝盖箔。所提出的 TENG 产生~4 V 和 11.8 nW cm ^-2的输出电压和瞬时功率密度，分别由手激励力。此外，TENG 可以在充电电容器的帮助下轻松为 85 个商用发光二极管、数字手表、温度计和计算器供电。拟议的 TENG 展示了过程的简便性、简单性、成本效益和减少污染。此外，这种 TENG 性能可以与其他摩擦电材料一起改善，并应用于自供电便携式电子设备应用。
