Abstract
Traditional plastic pollution presents a substantial menace to our ecosystem. This study examines the capacity of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), a rapidly proliferating aquatic plant, to serve as a constituent material in bioplastics. The study investigates the viability of using water hyacinths to create environmentally friendly substitutes for disposable plastics. The study investigates the optimal techniques for converting water hyacinth into bioplastic. The study also examines the mechanical properties and biodegradation rates of the generated bioplastics compared to traditional plastics. Additionally, the project intends to help decrease plastic waste and its negative impact on ecosystems by advocating using water hyacinth, a widely available and renewable resource. Moreover, biodegradable bioplastics made from water hyacinths can reduce the release of greenhouse gases linked to conventional plastic manufacturing. Moreover, research establishes a foundation for advancing water hyacinth bioplastics, which presents a hopeful resolution for addressing plastic pollution, promoting sustainable economic progress, and moving towards a more ecologically conscientious future.
