| Abstract: | On a historical scale, the rapid expansion of plastic production was a 21st-century event. Low cost and versatility of plastics have opened the door to a wide range of uses. Bioplastics were being created because plastics are non- biodegradable and have been discovered to have hazardous impacts on humans, animals, and the environment. Bioplastics are biodegradable and can be made from renewable biological sources. Bioplastics are used in the same ways as plastics. Although there are various sources of bioplastics, such as plants, animals, and microbial sources, they all have drawbacks, such as a lack of high biomass and cultivation challenges. Wheatgrass, in such instances, can serve as one of the dyes in bioplastics alternatives due to its large biomass, ability to grow in a variety of conditions, and cultivation in a natural environment, as opposed to other microbiological sources that require a particular environment for cultivation. Wheatgrass is economically effective, has a low influence on the food chain, and is chemical-free, in addition to the benefits listed above. Dyed biopolymers are frequently costly or need a significant amount of resources to process. The purpose of this research is to see how efficient wheatgrass is as a dye for biodegradable biopolymers (a plant-based bioplastic made from a combination of vinegar and corn starch and animal-based bioplastic made from gelatine). The findings revealed no significant differences, indicating that wheatgrass is an exceptionally efficient dye. A test was undertaken to examine if the dyed biopolymer degrades, and it was discovered that the already existing biopolymer had boosted strength. Tensile strength and biodegradability of biopolymer were tested before and after the dye was added. The bioplastic was also made hydrophobic using an iron chloride composite and results were obtained to see if wheatgrass interfered in this process. Bioplastics are still in their infancy in terms of application, but they hold a lot of promise for the future development of sustainable plastics and the current study focuses on developing a natural, biodegradable dye for these biopolymers and evaluating their efficacy. |
