Abstract

Shrimp shell waste contains chitin which can be processed into chitosan. Chitosan can be utilized as an edible plastic. The film is expected to maintain food quality by resisting water vapour transfer as a preservative and maintaining odour. Edible plastics as food protectors are expected to have optimal mechanical properties. Chitosan films are brittle, so plasticizers are used to increase their flexibility. The mechanical properties of the film may change during storage time. The decline in film quality is expected to be fast enough to allow edible plastics for food wrapping. This study aims to determine the effect of glycerol addition and film storage time on the mechanical properties of edible chitosan film. From the results obtained, adding glycerol plasticizer produces films with thickness and elongation that tend to increase. In contrast, the tensile strength value increases and then decreases with the addition of glycerol. The optimal mechanical strength value was obtained in the film solution with glycerol at 0.3 mL/g chitosan with a maximum tensile strength of 200 kgf/cm2 and a per cent elongation of 135%. The thickness of the film produced was 0.17 mm. The film produced in this study has met the standards of film mechanical strength (tensile strength and per cent elongation) based on the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS). Meanwhile, based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), the tensile strength value produced in this study has yet to meet the SNI standard.

Abstract

Global warming and environmental issues are being caused by the overuse of fossil fuels and increased industrialization around the world, which has resulted in the production of greenhouse gases. As a result, it's crucial to reach net-zero carbon emissions. By balancing the total quantity of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas emissions over a specific period and taking actions that are ecologically responsible, net zero carbon emissions can be accomplished. For environmental sustainability to be successful, it must be able to influence people's attitudes and behavior toward the environment. To understand NGOs' obligations in supporting net-zero carbon emissions, this paper presents a methodical debate utilizing NGOs as case studies. The method is employed in this work by reviewing the body of primary and secondary research on the study issue. This essay initially lists different environmental NGOs organizations before categorizing and outlining some of the significant GHGs reduction initiatives made by these organizations. This essay also addresses key issues that must be addressed upon to achieve the best outcomes. This report gives a broad overview of the synergizing domains that NGOs around the globe work in to assist improvement environmental security.
