Environmental pollution caused by styrofoam has prompted researchers to develop environmentally friendly packaging. Biofoam, which is made from starch and natural fibers, is an option because it is easily decomposed, safe for health, and made from natural ingredients. This study aims to analyze the effect of varying concentrations of glycerol and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on the manufacture of bi…
Biodegradable packaging such as bioplastics and biofoam is becoming an interesting subject and continues to be deepened due to the environmental impact resulting from the abundant use of environmentally unfriendly packaging such as plastic and styrofoam. Biofoam or Biodegradable foam is a packaging that is able to decompose naturally due to the activity of microorganisms, because the main ingre…
Styrofoam as a practical alternative to food packaging is very useful. In addition to its practicality, the use of conventional plastics such as Styrofoam is still suitable for packaging with a relatively long shelf life such as meat. However, Styrofoam has a disadvantage, due to the large number of Styrofoam uses, it causes a buildup of waste that is very difficult to decompose. Biofoam is an …
