India generates nearly 26,000 a lot of plastics on a daily basis. These plastics pollute the water and soil.The solid plastic wastes incinerated by the municipal agency pollute the air. Consistent with Central Pollutionpanel 94% of the plastics are thermoplastics or recyclable materials like PET (polyethylene terephthalate) andPVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)The purpose of bioplastic production is an alternate for synthetic plastic. The starchmay is a natural biopolymer. Cassava is employed to provide the bioplastic by using glycerol plasticizer.Perform Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR) for functional groups present within the bioplasticAnd analysis of degradation potential of developed bioplastic.
