Abstract

Plastic waste continues to increase every year along with the increasing number of industries and population. Accumulated plastic waste has a negative impact and harm the environmental. The initiative of 3R (reduce, reuse, and recycle) has been widely promoted, but it is not optimally implemented. The use of organic materials to substitute the synthetic materials in plastic become alternative to prevent this problem continues in the future. Bioplastics are naturally decomposed by the soil and made from renewable materials. This review aims to explore the potency of cassava peels (Manihot esculenta) and seaweed carrageenan (Eucheuma cottonii) as the bioplastic material. The method used is an effective literature review and in accordance with the topic being discussed. The discussion method is carried out based on research results that have been found by previous researchers, which are then integrated with other researchers to get strong results and conclusions. Cassava peel waste and seaweed carrageenan have the potency to be made into bioplastics because they contain polysaccharide that can form a thin layer films based on gelatinization. The development of cassava peel waste and seaweed carrageenan will becoming the promising materials as substitutions for synthetic plastic, and also could help prevent the negative impact of plastic waste. Furthermore, since the cassava and seaweed are naturally abundant, it will promoting the environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Lampung is one of the provinces producing Indonesia's second-largest banana crop. Operational activities at the Palm Oil Mill produce a by-product of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), which can potentially be the most enormous environmental pollution. Communities often use chemicals to treat liquid waste, which causes health problems, cannot be decomposed, and can damage the environment. Therefore, treating liquid waste using organic materials that are more environmentally friendly, safe for health and easily degraded is necessary. By modifying cationic starch, natural polymers found in banana blossom waste may be utilized for producing natural biocoagulant that are more effective. This paper aims to review the potential of cationic-modified balbis banana blossom waste starch as a natural biocoagulant for processing palm oil waste. Starch was first modified into cationic starch by etherification method with the help of HMMAHC cationic reagents. The mechanism of cationic starch as a biocoagulant is the exchange of starch cation ions and waste anions to form bridges between colloidal particles and then form flocs that can precipitate. The implementation technique of this idea is by collaborating with several parties to ensure the successful use of banana hump starch as a biocoagulant material, providing support and facilities for the industry and promoting the use of biocoagulant, conducting literature studies related to the use of banana hump starch as a natural biocoagulant, testing the effectiveness of biocoagulant, implemented in the palm oil processing industry.
