| Abstract: | The present work investigates the development and assessment of biodegradable plastic with Citrus sinensis L., also called as Orange and Musa paradisiaca L., also called Banana peels as raw materials. The bioplastic was prepared with an easy method by treating the peels with sodium bisulfite, acid hydrolysis, plasticizing using glycerol, and adding clove oil for antimicrobial activity. The sample exhibited excellent mouldability and chemical stability, being insoluble in water, concentrated acid, and alcohol. Mechanical analysis showed that an elongation ratio which was a sign of moderate flexibility. A high biodegradation rate within two weeks in soil was a validation of its eco-friendly character. It can be concluded that this bioplastic derived from fruit peel is a tough, flexible, and biodegradable substitute for regular plastics. It offers distinct benefits like cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and lower environmental footprints through the use of agro-waste. This bioplastic has the potential to be applied in packaging and disposable products as the world moves towards cleaner materials and circular economy processes. |
