Summary, etc. This study investigates the potential of jackfruit (artocarpus heterophyllus) peelings as main component in bioplastic production. This research is particularly relevant within the
environment where there are increasing cases of plastic waste especially that conventional plastics can last for more than 50oo years, adding that its waste does not fully decompose
but only shrinks in size. To develop a sustainable alternative, bioplastic samples we were synthesized using jackfruit peelings, glycerin, sodium hydroxide, and hydrochloric acid,
then subjected to manual testing to assess their durability, flammability, and water resistance. The findings revealed that jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophylus) peel-based bioplasties showed comparable durability, withstanding 5.o65 grams of weight across three tests, outperforming polyethylene (PE) plastic, which endured a maximum of 4,770 grams in a single test. The independent group had significant differences in terms of flammability as the jackfruit peel bioplastics had higher fire resistance, taking 17 seconds to completely ignite, a significantly slower burn time compared to polyethylene (PE) plastics, indicating potential applications in fire-sensitive environments. Additionally, results reveal that the bioplastic has lower water resistance due to their high cellulose
content, which increases moisture absorption. The water absorption test showed that the samples absorbed an average of 310.26% of their weight in water over 24 hours,
contributing to structural degradation. Despite these challenges, the material demonstrated promising biodegradability, making it a viable option for short-term
packaging applications.
