Water Hyacinth: an Alternative Component for Ideal Biodegradable Plastic
PROJECT TITLE:
Water Hyacinth: An Alternative Component for Ideal Biodegradable Plastic
ABSTRACT
Presently, people everywhere are focusing more on environmental concerns. As a result, there are movements toward recycling wastes and using natural substances. Inventions have evolved and continue to evolve such that after several years of study, research and experimentation reach great developments. With continuing efforts to investigate the constituents of Philippine plants, we have pursued investigation of starch of the Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) as an alternative component for making a Biodegradable Plastic. Producing Bio-Plastic is a little bit advanced but it is one of the most popular projects, since we are advocating a greener world and a safety environment and it also utilizes a variety of materials. These have included Water Hyacinth, a plant which is relatively abundant and free. The main purpose of this study is to find out if Water Hyacinth can be an alternative component for an ideal biodegradable plastic. The purpose of this experiment is to be able to help the society with its environmental issues by creating a biodegradable plastic out of Water Hyacinth. The researchers will use environment-friendly materials which can be made into biodegradable plastics that will not harm the environment and will not add to pollution problems.
Studies have also proven that Water Hyacinth could be used for making various types of packaging products and fuel. Water Hyacinth is a promising raw material for the development of biodegradable plastics. The research activities have shown and proven that water hyacinth starch is effective in the development of biodegradable packaging materials such as plastics. Studies determined the effectiveness of water hyacinth starch as component of biodegradable plastic. Results confirmed that water hyacinth starch is ideal as tests proved its worth. Therefore, Water Hyacinth Starch is an effective component for
