Development of an Environmentally Friendly Bioplastic Film Derived from Water Hyacinth
Abstract: The water hyacinth, an invasive aquatic plant negatively impacting ecosystems, serves as a promising source for raw materials in the production of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-based bioplastics due to its high cellulose concentration. This initiative not only mitigates water hyacinth pollution in natural water resources but also contributes to the reduction of plastic waste through the creation of biodegradable CMC bioplastic films. The cellulose extraction from water hyacinth precedes the synthesis of …
