This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of increasing production and bringing banana peel bioplastic to market as a sustainable substitute for plastic. In order to address plastic pollution, the study will highlight the primary challenges and provide information on whether banana peel bioplastic is a viable and sustainable solution.
Furthermore, the researcher gathered 3 evaluators that is working at CO-OP Canteen at Benigno "Ninoy" S. Aquino High School using an observational checklist. Additionally, the study is an example of a quasi-experimental design, which uses the purposive sampling technique to examine cause-and-effect interactions between variables in real-world settings (Appinio, 2025). The collected data will be statistically processed using the overall mean, percentage, and summation. The research analyzed the chemical properties of the bioplastic produced from banana peel, identifying starch, pectin, and cellulose.
Lastly, the Observational Checklist was gathered and statistically treated with 3 evaluators, agreeing that the bio-plastic made from banana peel is acceptable in terms of flexibility and Elasticity, biodegradability, and compostability. Therefore, the proposed product is acceptable as a Bioplastic.
