Abstract

The current work aims at preparation of bio-bag sheet using banana peels. The banana peels are amalgamated with glycerol as plasticizer and sodium metabisulphite as antimicrobial .This research work is completed in two steps, first step is levigation of banana peels with unique concentration of different chemicals. The second step is preparation of sheet by heating in oven at 130 ⁰c temperature. Its properties like tensile strength, creep, thickness was studied in this research work.
