BIOPLASTIC: PRODUCTION OF BIOPLASTIC FROM BANANA PEELS Authors: Andhare P , RIBADIYA P, UPADHAYAY D, MARCHAWALA F, BHATTACHARYA I
ABSTRACT
Now a day’s use of plastics can be generating damaging effects and the degradation of these
plastic requires 500 years or sometimes it is more than it to decompose completely, releasing
toxic elements in the environment. Thus, biodegradable plastic is turning into an inspiring
result to solve all these issues which are facing now a day. By the study from banana peels,
we can produce bioplastic could be acceptable to produce plastic and to show that the starch
in the banana peel, which is used in place of the manufacture of the biodegradable plastic.
Creation of bioplastic from banana peels in its place of traditional petroleum-based plastic is
supposed to be an efficacious answer to raise the efficiency of the plastic industry. The result
shows that the plastic which is manufacture from natural material is required half times more
than petroleum plastic. Therefore, it can be used in the industry for different types of
applications such as packaging.
