Conventional plastics, which are widely used in Indonesia, do not easily decompose in nature and as a result may cause environmental concerns. Therefore a solution is needed to change from conventional plastics to a more biodegradable form of the similar material, one of which is plastic made from a mixture of starch with polyethylene. This thesis discusses the degradation that occurs in starch-based biodegradable plastics as tested using three different methods: the ASTM G21-09 method, microorganism testing, and field testing.

Test results using five types of test mold that are based on the ASTM G21-09 and indicate that the mold growth may cover 85% of the surface of the specimen after two weeks. Afterwards, natural microorganism testing produced a final weight for the specimen after eight weeks of testing. The results were 71% with lake microorganisms, 68% with river microorganisms and 56% using microorganisms from soil. These tests did not produce a change in the shape or form of the specimen. While field testing produced the final weight of the specimen after 8 weeks at 0% after submersion in river and lake water, specimen buried in soil was at 58%. The specimen changed form during this experiment."

"Polylactic acid merupakan material biopolimer yang memiliki keunggulan karena kekuatannya yang tinggi namun memiliki kekurangan yakni laju kristalisasinya yang rendah sehingga membutuhkan waktu yang lama dalam proses.

"Bioplastics, easily degraded plastics made from renewable biopolymers such as starch and protein, are being studied as possible substitute for synthetic plastics. One of Indonesian natural resources, Jicama (Pachyrizous erosus), also known as yam bean, is believed to have the potential to be made as bioplastics. This study aims to develop starch-based biofilms made from Jicama. The films were fabricated by using the solution casting method, with varying contents of water (67–93 wt%) and sodium hydroxide (0.3–0.7 g). Examinations were carried out by means of visual inspection, tensile test, scanning electron microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy. A continuous bioplastic film was successfully made with 93 wt.% water. The addition of water increased film formability. Sodium hydroxide improved the film formability but, also, induced fragility. The highest tensile strength and stiffness of 11.5 MPa and 0.98 GPa, respectively were achieved from the film prepared with 93 wt% water. These values are comparable to LDPE but with a lower ductility."

ABSTRACT

Plastic pollution is becoming an increasingly serious environmental issue and there is a growing push to phase out single use and non-biodegradable plastics. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a biodegradable and bioderived thermoplastic that shows great potential as a cost-effective replacement to the existing plastics in a variety of applications. The market is currently supply constrained and it is an opportune time to capitalize on this expanding market. A manufacturing facility to produce 5000 tonnes per annum of PHA bioplastic from sugarcane juice is to be designed. A range of manufacturing processes were evaluated to determine the most suitable process for this application. A pure culture of Ralstonia eutropha was the recommended bacteria to produce the PHA polymers as it is high yielding, genetically stable, suited to cane juice feedstock and capable of producing both PHB and PHV, which is a strict requirement in the project brief. The overall plant was split and designed in five separate sections: feedstock pre-treatment, fermentation, PHA extraction, PHA purification and palletization, as well as acetone-water recovery. In this paper, the purification and palletisation process equipment designs are further investigated. The purification and pelletising section is responsible for precipitating the PHA, drying and forming the final solid product. Environmental impacts have been minimised as much as possible with a particular focus on preventing acetone from being discharged. Dust, noise, odor, and flue gas emissions are among some of the potential environmental impacts identified that will need to be managed effectively in order to prevent environmental harm."
