Abstract Environmental pollutions are increasing day by due to more plastic application. The material is going in our food chain as well the environment employing microplastic and other plastic-based contaminants. From this point, bio-based research taking attention for a sustainable greener with lower footprint on environment. This evaluation should be made considering whole life cycle assessm...

Plastic is used excessively due to its excellent properties and low cost. This has led the ubiquitous accumulation of waste as it takes a very long time biodegrade. Until now, several research projects have developed different biodegradable plastics, tests validate them are still being undertaken. In this research, biodegradability test was performed on bioplastic synthesized from tamarind xylo...

Calcium carbonate has the potential to be used in development of medical materials, including biomaterials. Biocomposite is composed CaCO3 as matrix material and bioplastic from combination corn starch cassava reinforcement. This study aims determine mechanical properties such tensile strength bending/flexural with varying compositions bioplastic. Characterization biocomposite uses Scanning Ele...

Abstract Several types of plastic materials are widely used in food packaging because it has good mechanical and physical properties. However, the packaging, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), petroleum-based that is not renewable, biodegradable, causes environmental pollution. One option to overcome this problem make bioplastic using renewable sources, one which...
