Product Information

RUSH: — we had all these plastic fruit displays. You know, the artificial fruit in a basket that you put on the table — RUSH: You know, it was all plastic, so, I mean, there were plastic bananas, and there were plastic apples. But that’s not all, Morrisons is also launching a move towards the UK’s first six ‘zero waste’ stores in Edinburgh. A plastic drinking bottle makes a great… Plastic drinking bottle. Or we can use it for something else, like turning it into a planter for your garden. But if we can't reuse it, we can recycle it. RUSH: Do you remember, Snerdley? That may have been the germination for it. When I was growing up —

The resultant biodegradable film of plastic made with banana peels was then cut into 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm and was then buried down at a depth of 5 cm. Two days post burial, the sample from the soil was taken out, washed and dried. The wight of the dried sample was recorded. Elongation experiment It's found in games, clothes, drinks bottles, bags computers, phones, food trays, signs, pipes, multicoloured plastic bananas… err what? Well yeah, the point is we use plastic A LOT! If successful, the ‘zero waste’ store format will be rolled out to all 498 Morrisons stores over the next year.The method to create biodegradable plastic from banana peels was first developed in UNSW located in Sydney, Australia. In this method, the stem of the banana plant is converted into nanocellulose and it is then used to create bioplastic. Because of the fact that only 12% of the total banana plant makes up for the actual bananas and the rest of the plant is considered to be a ‘waste’, it acts as an enticing opportunity to reduce the overall waste output and also use it as a raw material for industrial production of biodegradable plastic from banana peels. How is biodegradable plastic from banana peels made? We need to make a change together. We can use less plastic to start with. I never should have bought this plastic banana. It was seen that the biodegradable plastic thus created can be composed in just 6 days. Another striking feature of this biodegradable plastic was that it could be stretched just like normal plastic. A 4.5 cm piece of plastic made from banana peels can be stretched up to 6.5 cm. Not only this, but this biodegradable plastic from banana peels can also be moulded which makes it possible for it to replace the petroleum plastic moulds which are quite commonly used in almost every household. Conclusion

In 2019, the chain also introduced plastic-free fruit and veg aisles to 60 of its stores across the UK to save 156 tonnes of plastic each year. As most of the banana plant’s pseudostem is made up of water, only around 10% of the actual stem is the solid material. This pseudostem is taken to the laboratory, cut into pieces, dried at extremely low temperature in an oven designed for drying and is then made into a very fine powder. Upon processing, the consistency of the resultant product is very similar to that of baking paper. Normal plastic made with the process of polymerisation is non-biodegradable in nature. It takes almost 500 years for them to decompose, and even after that, their residue is toxic and harmful for the environment. But unlike normal plastic, banana peel plastic is made from the banana industry’s agri-waste, and the result is non-toxic and biodegradable bioplastic. So what do we do with our plastic? Well, we can throw it in the bin and it gets collected by a lorry. But with so much plastic around, Some of it, unfortunately, ends up in the sea. With the advancement of human civilization, pollution has become a significant problem. Soil pollution, water pollution, land pollution, and air pollution are some of the different types of pollution affecting our planet. However, one common cause for all the different types of pollution is plastic and how its various forms.

We can send the waste plastic to recycling centres. Here it's sorted, shredded and used to make new things. This can be expensive and difficult, but it does mean some old plastic can become new bags, rugs, plant pots, dog collars even shoes. Plastic can be made in to anything and it's super strong. But that also makes it really difficult to break down if it gets into the environment Around 25 ml of banana peel starch is taken an put in a 500 ml beaker. To this beaker, 3 ml acetic acid is added and stirred using a glass rod. After this, 2ml of propane-1, 2, 3-triol is added and the beaker is again stirred using a glass rod. The final mixture is then poured in a petri dish and is then baked in an oven at 60 o for 30 minutes. Biodegradation test When plastic and its particles forms accumulate in one place, it becomes a huge problem, and it leads to pollution. Plastic pollution affects wildlife, their habitats and also human beings. The main reason behind this devastating nature of plastic is the fact that it is non-biodegradable because of its persistent nature, its economical, ecotoxicological and ecological effects are all long term effects. And owing to its use in our daily lives, getting totally rid of plastic and its products is an extremely difficult task. Over time, a real banana will turn brown, rot and break down into the soil. A multicoloured plastic banana, like this, could take hundreds and hundreds of years to break down. And even then, it's still plastic just in smaller bits.
