This experiment seeks to reduce plastic waste by creating biodegradable
plastic covers made from gelatin and potato starch, providing students with a
sustainable alternative. Potato starch and gelatin were used because they are
biodegradable, safe, and unharmful. The components were mixed and processed
to produce a long-lasting, biodegradable cover using low-cost techniques, and the
product was tested for strength, flexibility, and decomposition rates. The findings
suggested that the biodegradable covers were both long-lasting and capable of
dissolving safely in the natural environment. These developments provide a useful
and environmentally friendly alternative to standard plastic, assisting efforts in
promoting environmental sustainability.
