Abstract

This study explores the synthesis of biodegradable plastics using banana peel starch, a renewable agro-waste, combined with glycerol& sorbitolas plasticizers. Bioplastics were tested to understand their strength, flexibility, and biodegradability. The results indicates that the choice of plasticizers significantly influence the properties of the resulting bioplastics, highlighting their potential as sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics.

Keywords: Banana peel, bio-plastic, plasticizer, glycerol, sorbitol
