Bioplastic is a plastic that is partly or completely from polymers derived from biological sources such as sugar cane, potato starch or the cellulose from trees, straw and cotton. Bioplastics are not just one single material, they constitute of a whole family of substances with differing properties and applications. Since it is biodegradable and renewable, it is also a perfect raw material as a replacement for fossil-fuel components in many chemical applications.
This study was intended to produce a bioplastic made from casein powder and starch.
The study used different concentration levels of casein powder in producing bioplastic. Plastic produced was assessed if there are significant differences between the treatments in terms of: (a) weight; (b) thickness; (c) water absorption: (d) durability; and (e) general chemical resistance testing. Also, the best concentration level of casein in producing starch-based bioplastic in terms of: (a) weight; (b) thickness; (c) water absorption; (d) durability; and (e) general chemical resistance testing.
The results of the study showed that the bioplastic with 7. 5 grams casein has the highest value in weight, thickness, water absorption, chemical resistance and durability.
