Abstract As global environmental concerns continue to rise, there is an urgent need for sustainable alternatives in the packaging industry to reduce the environmental impact of traditional packaging materials. This research explores the potential of potato starch-based coatings as an eco-friendly alternative for paper-based packaging applications. The study investigates the feasibility of using locally sourced potato starch to create biodegradable and cost-effective coatings for paper packaging.
In this research, a simple and accessible method is employed to extract and process potato starch. The extracted starch is then used to develop paper coatings through a straightforward application process. The study examines the physical properties of these coatings, such as their tensile strength, oil resistance and water resistance. These properties are crucial for ensuring the durability and functionality of the packaging material.
Preliminary findings indicate that potato starch-based paper coatings exhibit promising adhesive properties and reasonable resistance to moisture, making them suitable for a variety of packaging applications. This research provides valuable insights into the potential of potato starch-based coatings as a sustainable alternative for paper packaging. The findings could have far-reaching implications for the packaging industry, offering a greener and more environmentally responsible solution to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging materials.
