Fruit Peel Bioplastic
We all know that plastic bags, batteries and other synthetic materials are not easily degradable, but surprisingly banana peels and orange peels, which seem to be 'natural' waste, also have a rather long process from decay to complete decomposition, with banana peels and orange peels taking at least two years to decompose.
By recycling banana peels and orange peels, redesigning and remanufacturing them, such a closed loop system is formed, reducing environmental damage while achieving sustainable use of fruit waste. The potential for converting fruit waste into biodegradable bioplastics is enormous, creating something useful from the trash people throw away, and even can replace the manufacturing of existing plastics.
Fruit Peel Bioplastics Making Process
Recycled orange peels and banana peels are dried, ground into a powder, and mixed with other biodegradable sustainable substances to form bioplastics in two separate ways: natural drying and oven drying.
Bioplastics Making Process
Recipe：
a) Banana peel 200g, vinegar 30g, honey 10g.
b) Orange peel 100g, coconut oil 11g, glycerin 84g, sodium alginate 27g, water 1L, cotton 5g.
d) Orange peel 200g, gelatin 160g, coconut oil 50g, water 580g.
Orange peel bioplastic, which has a leathery texture, is tough but weak, and has the property of changing color over time.
Banana peel bioplastics, after heating and oven drying, the yellow color of the banana peel disappears completely and is replaced by a black texture with very low strength and brittle properties.
