Carbon Emission Assessment of Bioplastics from Durian Peel

Abstract Plastic is a product widely used daily and contributes to huge waste, which can cause potential environmental impact worldwide. The production of bioplastics lessen plastic waste while also benefiting the environment. There are still few studies examining influence in different contexts. This investigation assesses cradle-to-gate life cycle durian peel-derived considering their contribute global warming as measured by carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). steps evaluation process were acquiring raw materials, extracting cellulose powder, synthesizing carboxymethyl cellulose, making film. Based on results, entire emits 76.339 kgCO2eq, extraction maximum CO2eq. Bioplastic manufacturing minimize reducing humidity before process.
