Cassava Waste Starch as a Source of Bioplastics: Development of a Polymeric Film with Antimicrobial Properties

Abstract

Carolina Ruy*

The global demand for sustainable and biodegradable materials has led to significant research in the development of bioplastics derived from renewable resources. Among the various sources of bioplastics, cassava starch has emerged as a promising candidate due to its abundance, low cost, and biodegradability. Cassava, a staple crop widely cultivated in tropical regions, produces a large amount of waste, particularly in the form of starch residues from processing. These residues, often discarded, can be converted into valuable products such as bioplastics, which offer an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastics
