Abstract: Conventional plastic, derived from petroleum, is one of the main sources of pollution due to its intensive use and slow degradation. This proposal, linked to the extension project "Environmental Education and Water Resources," presents a simple and accessible methodology for producing bioplastic using banana peel and corn starch. The objective is to integrate sustainability, waste reduction, and practical learning. The methodology includes theoretical research, a comparison between traditional plastics and bioplastics, and the experimental production of biodegradable film. Banana peel provides polysaccharides and pectins that allow for obtaining a resistant and low-cost material. The activity promotes interdisciplinarity, creativity, and engagement, bringing students closer to innovative solutions in chemistry and sustainability.
