Analisis Durabilitas Penggunaan Produk Bioplastik dari Limbah Batang Kelapa Sawit

Abstract

The increasing use of conventional plastics has raised serious concerns for the environment. Bioplastics, as an eco-friendly alternative, are attracting much attention. This study aims to analyze the durability characteristics of bioplastics from palm trunk starch. The bioplastics used in this study are bioplastics made with palm trunk waste starch as raw material. The durability of bioplastics will be tested, namely in the DSC test, density test, chemical resistance test, air resistance test, heat resistance test, water resistance test. The results showed that bioplastics have good durability to heat, air, chemicals but less good against water.
