| Abstract | ||
| The environmental and economic burdens associated with petroleum-derived polymers necessitate the development of sustainable alternatives. This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of three bio-products derived from natural sources. Two biopolymers were synthesized from starch and gelatin, while the third was paper produced from banana peel. These materials were fabricated into children's toys and accessories. Characterization, including solubility, flame resistance, water absorption, and biodegradability assessments, demonstrated the potential of these bio-products as viable polymer replacements in diverse applications. | ||
