Since plastics are made of polymers

Starch is a very favorable raw material in plastic - making

Using cassava starch in developing biodegradable plastic is

one big step to lessen, if not total eliminate, our global concerns.

Using cassava starch in developing biodegradable plastic is

one big step to lessen, if not total eliminate, our global concerns.

Generally, this study is conducted to replace the conventional non-

biodegradable plastics using cassava starch as its main component
for ideal biodegradable plastic.

Some plastics use starch as an additive. This

additive helps in the natural decomposition of
the plastic materials

Process:
The researchers poured 1 tbsp. of starch
4 tbsp. of water
1 tsp. of glycerin
and 1 tsp. of vinegar in the water bath.

The hot plate was turned on low fire.

Stir the mixture. The researchers kept on stirring until a sticky
paste was formed.

The hot plate was turned off and the mixture was poured in the
container. It was spread evenly and was kept as thin as
possible. Then press the plate presser .
It was placed under the sun to solidify.
