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...
