About this document

Bioplastic from Xanthosoma Starch by Chloe Dumolong is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This project proposal aims to create a bioplastic using Xanthosoma sagittifolium corm starch as an alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. The students will determine if Xanthosoma sagittifolium can be used as a bioplastic component by comparing its physical properties like acidity, solubility, water absorption, flammability and biodegradability to traditional plastics. If shown to be a viable alternative, using an abundant local plant starch for bioplastic production could help address environ
