Abstract

Background: Plastic waste has become a global issue, including in Indonesia, where its growing impact has prompted the need for sustainable alternatives. Corn husk, an abundant agricultural waste in Indonesia, presents a potential raw material for producing biodegradable paper bags, aligning with circular economy principles and addressing the increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging. Method: This study uses a comprehensive literature review, drawing from scientific journals, textbooks, and official publications. Data analysis is conducted through descriptive and comparative techniques, including SWOT analysis, to assess the viability of corn husk-based biodegradable paper bags as an alternative to plastic. Findings: The study reveals that ZeaPackage, a biodegradable paper bag made from corn husks, is a promising alternative to plastic bags. Corn husks' high cellulose content and abundance make them ideal for large-scale production, offering an eco-friendly solution while supporting circular economy goals. Conclusion: ZeaPackage has significant potential as an environmentally sustainable alternative to plastic bags. By leveraging the abundant supply of corn husks, it contributes to waste reduction and aligns with circular economy principles, though challenges in implementation remain. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the innovative use of corn husk as a raw material for biodegradable packaging, offering a practical solution to plastic waste while adding value to agricultural by-products in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: In Indonesia, the nutritional situation is still concerning with the prevalence of stunting in children under five reaching 30.8%. Indonesia's rich biodiversity, especially local plants such as binahong (Anredera cordifolia [Ten.] Steenis) offers great potential as an innovative solution to overcome nutritional problems. This research focuses on developing binahong-based noodles (MIE-BIN) as a quality local food diversification strategy with the aim of making a real contribution to fulfilling balanced nutrition and supporting national food security through a comprehensive approach that combines aspects of nutrition, food technology, and local plant potential.  Methods: This research was conducted through a descriptive analytical literature review with a qualitative approach. This study employed a systematic literature search of primary sources (scientific journals, conference proceedings, research reports, and reference books) and secondary sources (official statistics, policy documents, and government publications) from 2014–2024 to analyze the potential of binahong leaves as a noodle ingredient. Findings: The findings show that Binahong Noodles (MIE-BIN) have superior nutritional, textural, sensory, and functional properties compared to conventional noodles, offering high protein, fiber, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds with significant health benefits, while also presenting strong potential for diversification, food security, and sustainable community nutrition. Conclusion: This innovation shows significant potential in supporting metabolic health through bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and saponins that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Novelty/Originality of this article: Through modern food technology and innovative approaches, MIE-BIN not only offers solutions for local food diversification, but also has the potential to become a strategic instrument in nutritional interventions, utilization of local resources, and improving the quality of life of the community.
