PRODUCTION OF BIOPLASTIC FROM BANANA PEELSSupriya Nandlal KanoujiyaShivani Kakkar KhannaJETIR(www.jetir.org)
Bio-plastics are produced from the biological sources such as potato, potato peels, corn, sugarcane, wheat, rice, banana peels etc. These plastics are environment friendly & biodegradable, and are safer option than the petroleum-based plastics. These biodegradable plastics break down into carbon ...
Hence the objectives of this research are to develop and produce biodegradable plastic that will substitute the existing non-biodegradable plastic using banana peels, to help in saving the environment as well as to compare the properties of biodegradable plastic based on banana peel wi...
They have been made from biomass such as sugarcane, corn, wheat, rice, banana peels, etc. Such desirable properties are also present in PHAs (polyhydroxyalkanoates) synthesized by microorganisms. Several types of PHAs have been discovered from bacteria and used as a bioplastic candidate. However...
