Eco-banana peel plastics / Faiezah Hashim … [et al.]
The environmental issues caused by the disposal of plastic waste have sparked interest in the production of environmentally friendly polymers. Low density of polyethylene (LDPE) is increasingly being used for food packaging and non-food packaging due to outstanding properties, ease of processing and...

The environmental issues caused by the disposal of plastic waste have sparked interest in the production of environmentally friendly polymers. Low density of polyethylene (LDPE) is increasingly being used for food packaging and non-food packaging due to outstanding properties, ease of processing and higher ultraviolet (UV) resistance. However, the inability of LDPE to decompose in nature is opposed to disintegration and degradation, which is a genuine environmental issue. The introduction of banana peel starch (BPS), which is natural, abundant, organic, and biodegradable, is a potential way to increase the susceptibility of LDPE to environmental degradation. Banana peels are a waste product ideal for producing bioplastics, accounting for 18.5% of starch sources.
