Abstract

Over the past five decades, a tremendous increase in daily usage of plastic has been observed worldwide. To address this particular problem, immense efforts have been devoted to the preparation of biodegradable plastics material. The purpose of this innovation report is to create a new food container with stackable sections made of biodegradable materials like corn starch. This will help create an eco-friendlier environment. Since corn is the main raw material for corn starch, it is a resource that can be used multiple times. Corn starch can also be used as an organic fertiliser because it breaks down completely. Because of this, there is much less likely to be pollution in the environment. Corn starch packaging doesn't have dioxin or polyvinyl chloride, which are both harmful pollutants, and it gives off less greenhouse gas than traditional plastics. So, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect data for this survey. A questionnaire made with Google Form was also used to collect information. The questions were meant to find out what the respondents thought about our product, which could lead to them buying it. It seems likely that people will find our product valuable because it is very useful, easy to use, and safe because of the materials used. This will help people learn more about nature.
