Development of environmental-friendly biofoam cup made from sugarcane bagasse and coconut fiber
Jun 26, 2023
Styrofoam is in high demand by street vendors and is often used as food packaging.
This can cause an emergence of environmental problems because it cannot decompose. On the
other hand, there is much waste from agricultural products such as sugarcane bagasse and
coconut fiber which frequently accumulate on the side of Banda Aceh’s road without further
processing. In this research, the sugarcane bagasse and coconut fiber have been used in the
production of biodegradable foam (biofoam) with addition of commercial mold (ragi tempe;
Rhizopus sp.)
Welcome message from author
The aim of this experiment was to design and create a biofoam cup to substitute plastic or styrofoam cups. The objectives of this research were to develop the formulation for biofoam production specifically in finding the best percentage of ragi tempe. Prior to the biofoam manufacturing process, a survey was conducted to assess the extent of styrofoam and plastic
food packaging in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. T
