Abstract

This study aims to determine the right combination of sugarcane waste in the process of making biodegdradable films, in order to obtain high-quality biodegradable films. This study used a non-factorial completely randomized design (RAL) consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications. Parameters observed in this study include tensile strength, percent elongation, water vapor transmission rate, biodegrability, and resistance at room temperature. The results of this study indicate tht the composition of sugarcane waste affects the quality of the resulting biodegradable film, which significantly affects the tensile strebgth, percent elongation, and water vapor transmission rate. The duration of degration differed from the treatment tested, while the resistance of the biodegdradable film at room temperature did not show any difference in treatment. Which produces the best value is to use composition of 100% baggase.
