Exploring Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Peel Waste for Eco-Friendly Bioplastics: A Sustainable Substitute for Traditional Plastics

Abstract As concerns about the environmental impacts of traditional plastics increase,
sustainable alternatives are growing in popularity. A possible way to reduce plasticwaste and its negative effects on the environment is to use bioplastics, which are made from renewable sources. In this talk, the manufacture of bioplastics from jackfruit peel—a plentiful agricultural byproduct—is the main topic. Due to its size and variety of culinary uses, jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) creates a significant amount of peel waste, creating a potential opportunity for value addition. These lignin-, polysaccharide-, and cellulose-rich peels are used as a feedstock to make biopolymers. Biopolymer films have increased flexibility and tensile strength because to the plasticizer glycerol. The bio-based origin of these films is confirmed by characterizing methods such X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy. Understanding their interaction with soil microorganisms is essential for biodegradation, which affects the nitrogen cycle in the soil. In conclusion, using jackfruit peel as a bioplastic feedstock
offers viable route toward eco-friendly plastic substitutes.
