a plastic is composed of additives. Biodegradable plastics are usually derived from proteins such as those that are present in a potato plant. Polymers are large molecules consisting of many repeating units‚ called monomers. Polymers can be made out of starch which is composed of long chains of glucose molecules. This study focuses mainly on making biodegradable plastics‚ which is certainly safer than non-biodegradable plastics‚ from potato starch. Biodegradable plastics made from raw materials are

Biodegradable Plastic from Gabi Leaves By: Mickaela Olan 9-Apple PLASTIC • A plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable. Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass‚ but they often contain other substances. They are usually synthetic‚ most commonly derived from petrochemicals‚ but many are partially natural. ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC: • Advantages of plastic are light in weight. • They can be easily moulded and have

Non-biodegradable trash is a growing concern to environmentalists as well as anyone wanting to embrace a more eco-friendly lifestyle. It’s important to understand what non-biodegradable trash is‚ as well as the effects that it is having on our planet. Identification 1. All trash falls into one of two categories‚ and is either biodegradable or non-biodegradable. By definition‚ non-biodegradable trash is any discarded item that cannot be broken down by living organisms. Non-biodegradable trash accumulates

are some industries and factories that introduces biodegradable plastics. Biodegradable plastics decomposed much faster than the common plastic. The said product became the solution for the shortening the timeline it takes to decompose unlike to the commercial plastics. It introduces to the society because it was composed of organic aterials that are environment friendly. Calamba city ordinance No. 10-481 prohibits the use of non- biodegradable plastic bags on dry goods. The ordinace also covers

Background of the study Due to the overwhelming demand of plastic bag production and its effects on our environment‚ our landfills are crammed with these non-biodegradable materials. Substances used in the manufacturing brought forth various harmful chemicals which worsen over time. As the destructive compounds such as Chlorofluorocarbons were introduced‚ the complete deprivation of the Ozone Layer starts. However‚ scientists and nature preservers alike managed to overthrow this hazard‚ but not

contributes in to the increasing production of food. That is why the researchers came up with the project of making biodegradable plastic. The project can reduce our problems in global warming because it needs no burning to decay. If the global warming will be reduced the food shortage will be reduced. It is focus more on lessening the world’s problems by using this product‚ the BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC. The first step done by the researchers is the peeling of one half kilo of squash. It was then chopped

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

CASSAVA STARCH AS A MAJOR COMPONENT IN MAKING BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC ABSTRACT The purpose of this experiment is to be able to help the society with its environmental issues by creating biodegradable plastic out of cassava starch. The procedures that the researchers used in this investigatory project were all experimental and were based on Scientific Method. The researchers used environment-friendly materials which can be made into biodegradable plastics that will not harm the environment and
