Pemanfaatan Limbah Kulit Pisang Kepok dan Kulit Kakao Dalam Pembuatan Plastik Biodegradable
Biodegradable plastic is plastic made from renewable raw materials. Biodegradable plastic can be made by utilizing starch from waste such as kepok banana peels. The research aim to obtain the best ratio between banana peel starch and cocoa pod husk cellulose to produce biodegradable plastic that meets the SNI 7818:2014. The research was conducted experimentally using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments: starch-to-cellulose ratios of 10:0, 9:1, 8:2, and 7:3, each repeated four times, for a total of 16 experimental units. The data were analyzed statistically using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and, if significant, followed up with Duncan''s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the 5% level. The result of this study is that different ratio of kapok banana peels starch and cocoa pod husk cellulose had a significant effect on the values of water absorption, water vapor transfer rate, tensile strength, elongation, and biodegradation of the resulting biodegradable plastic. The best biodegradable plastic treatment ratio is starch 7:3 cellulose. Ratio of starch 7:3 cellulose treatment had a tensile strength of 27.72 Mpa, elongation of 1,5%, a water absorption rate of 28.96%, water vapor transfer rate of 0.228 (g/m2/hour), and biodegradation for 12 days.
