Synthesis and characterization of a biodegradable film from eggshell and green banana starch
Summary
Researchers synthesized and characterized a biodegradable film using eggshell and green banana starch as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics, evaluating its material properties as part of an effort to address plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production.
El propósito de esta investigación se centra en la síntesis y caracterización de una película biodegradable como alternativa sostenible a los plásticos convencionales, que en la actualidad están acarreando problemáticas como la contaminación ambiental generada por su lenta degradación, producción excesiva y falta de control, e incluso, problemáticas como la exacerbación del cambio climático a causa de los gases efecto invernadero. Todo ello mediante la revisión bibliográfica y el desarrollo de diferentes prototipos que implementen cáscara de huevo y almidón de plátano verde en su composición, con el fin de desarrollar una matriz polimérica con características similares a los plásticos derivados del petróleo, que genere un menor impacto ambiental al degradarse tanto en suelo como en agua en un menor lapso de tiempo, contribuyendo así a la mitigación de problemáticas como la contaminación por plásticos y brindando alternativas al problema de los plásticos de un solo uso.

Sustainable synthesis and characterization of bioplastic films from whole banana peel: a comparative study on plasticizer-hydrolyzer ratios
Researchers synthesized bioplastic films from whole banana peel waste using acetic acid as a hydrolyzer and glycerol as a plasticizer at three different ratios (1:1, 1:2, and 3:8), then characterized the films for physicochemical properties and biodegradability. This approach differs from conventional bioplastics by utilizing the whole peel rather than only extracted starch.
