The Fantastic Plastic by SHENYN NICOLE CHENG https://padlet.com/smcheng_20050368/jscg8spnb1hd Utilization Of Cassava Starch (Manihot Esculenta) As A Component In The Production Of A Bioplastic Container en-us 2017-09-04 23:57:55 UTC 2023-02-19 06:49:02 UTC hello@padlet.com Inspiration smcheng_20050368 https://padlet.com/smcheng_20050368/jscg8spnb1hd/wish/184594030 Nowadays, the demand for plastics increases and as the demand for plastic also increases, the environment continues to degrade due to the excessive amount of plastic wastes that cannot be broken down and therefore it leaves a pile of non-biodegradable wastes. Because of this, I was inspired to think of a solution to lessen these wastes, which is to create a bioplastic container using cassava starch as a main component. ]]> 2017-09-05 00:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/smcheng_20050368/jscg8spnb1hd/wish/184594030 Cassava Starch smcheng_20050368 https://padlet.com/smcheng_20050368/jscg8spnb1hd/wish/184594827          Cassava Starch is a common plant in the Philippines. It is a long, tuberous, and starchy root of dark green color and 
rough texture. The starch is composed of two polymers in certain percentages— 75-80% amylopectin, 20-25% amylose.

As products, they are indispensable since they minimize the non-biodegradable wastes formed from traditional plastics, thus promoting environmental sustainability and stability. ]]> 2017-09-05 00:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/smcheng_20050368/jscg8spnb1hd/wish/184595503 Specific Problem To Solve smcheng_20050368 https://padlet.com/smcheng_20050368/jscg8spnb1hd/wish/184595915           To be able to lessen pollution caused by non-biodegradable plastic wastes by creating a bioplastic container that consumers can proudly and safely use, which is safe for the environment
