PR253: ECO-HUSK PACKAGING

Ridhwan Jumaidin Universiti Malaysia Sabah

Eco-Husk Packaging is an innovative solution to the global plastic pollution challenge. Developed from discarded corn husk waste and bound with thermoplastic cassava starch, this packaging tray is fully biodegradable, renewable, and recyclable. It decomposes naturally in both soil and water, significantly reducing environmental pollution compared to conventional plastics. By transforming agricultural waste into sustainable packaging, Eco-Husk Packaging not only minimizes resource consumption but also promotes circularity in material use. This innovation offers a practical, eco-friendly alternative that supports environmental preservation and sustainable development.
