Food packaging development of bioplastic from basic waste of cassava peel (manihot uttilisima) and shrimp shell

Abstract

Development of biodegradable plastics or bioplastics that can be degraded by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi is one approach to solving the problem of plastic waste. Bioplastic from waste starch and cassava peel shrimp shell waste as filler or reinforcement that has been generated in previous research. This research aims to develop bioplastic packaging into food for direct consumption and packaging. Stages of the study include the manufacture of bioplastics, food safety testing, manufacture and packaging of food products, organoleptic test, and the test period. Utilization of cassava and leather waste shrimp shells for bioplastic packaging is an added value in addressing environmental problems because it is recycled into products of high economic value and environmental.
