Abstract

Addressing plastic pollution is crucial for environmental and human well-being. Exploring and adopting sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic can significantly contribute to mitigating these harmful effects. Research and innovation in eco-friendly materials are essential for a more sustainable future. Bioplastic indeed showcase innovation by utilizing various biodegradable sources like banana peels, orange peel, corn starch,organic waste. They provide a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics and contribute to reducing environmental impact. The diverse range of materials, including biomass and renewable sources like cellulose and vegetable oil, highlights the versatility of bioplastics in addressing environmental concerns. Bioplastics can be of various types, which is based on the source that it has been derived from, such as Cellulose-based, Starch based, Protein based and Aliphatic polyesters bioplastics. Various scientists describe the production of a bioplastic film from banana paste. This approach aligns with the utilization of natural resources for sustainable material development. Bioplastic from banana peels can be used in industry for various applications such as molding, packaging and making carry bags. There’s a big demand for bioplastic packaging and it is the largest segment of the European bioplastic market – estimated (44% of 2.05 million tones in 2017). At the same time rescuing the environment from potential harm by synthetic plastics. That’s a significant growth projection for India’s bioplastics market, indicating a shift towards more sustainable alternatives. Globally market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 24.36% to reach US$1,420.870 million by 2027, up from US$308.942 million in 2020.Environmental awareness and regulations contribute to this expansion.So, this review includes production of bioplastic from banana peels and improving environmental health.
