| Summary, etc. | The heightening effects of food waste and plastic pollution to our society and environment have been evident over the past years, leading to the generation of this study. This paper discussed an experimental study on the creation of bioplastic to possibly become a substitute for commercialized plastics, utilizing leftover rice as a whole. In order to test its quality, it underwent a water absorption test and was compared to commercialized plastics. In making the samples of the bioplastic, leftover rice was collected from the school canteen of Ateneo de Iloilo, and together with glycerol and vinegar, were utilized as materials for the experiment. Whereas a top loading balance was used for the measurements of the bioplastic and commercialized plastic before and after the water absorption test. Based on the results, both the bioplastics and commercialized plastics have shown a big difference of absorbing the water compared to its solid state before the water absorption test was conducted. Overall, the researchers conclude that commercialized plastics had better water absorption capabilities than bioplastics. For the bioplastics to emerge in the market in the future, the researchers recommended it to be used accordingly, further research, and experimentation on this product. |
