The influence of the painting process on a biocompostable waste is studied. Disintegration degree (D %) of a 100% biocompostable plastic made from potato almidon is calculated for both painted and non -painted samples. Solid matrix is also characterized by means of a laboratory scaled composting process following UNE-EN norms [2, 3]. It can be concluded that painting has a negative influence on...

Abstract The adverse environmental effects of petroleum-based packaging plastics have necessitated the need for eco-friendly bioplastics. Most bioplastics are starch-based and not without drawbacks, hence there is their properties to be improved. In this study, effect varying concentrations dialdehyde starch silica solutions on physical, mechanical, biodegradable, surface topology, thermal biop...

Abstract The presence of glycerol as plasticizer can improve elasticity bioplastic. Betel (Piper betle) leaf extract contains tannin and flavonoid which both them take a role in antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal. This study aims to investigate the effect various addition bioplastic based on sago starch ( Metroxylon sp. ) includes density, water absorption, antimicrobial activity. betel is ...

Bioplastics have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional plastics, marketed environmentally friendly and sustainable materials. They provide variety of methods for efficient waste management contributing the goals circular economy. At their end-of-life stage, bioplastics can generate added value through aerobic anaerobic biological treatments (composting or digestion). In this study,...
