Abstract
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;tab-stops:81.0pt"><span style="font-size:16px;line-height: 150%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Plastic'sversatility and adaptability have made it a common household item in almost every country. Plastic, on the other hand, is a non-biodegradable commodity that has sparked environmental worries, prompting a quest for "green" alternatives, with starch being the top runner due to its abundance and low cost. Physico-mechanical qualities such as tensile strength, tear strength, stiffness, elongation at break, and moisture stability are all poor in starch-based materials. Through starch modification, reinforcements (both organic and inorganic), processing conditions, and the use of compatibilizers, a biodegradable plastic with increased physico-mechanical properties is being generated from potato starch to develop alternatives for traditional plasticsin this study. Further research has been carried out to compare thephysico-mechanical properties of biodegradable plastics to regular plastics. Test results showed a very promising start for the biodegradable plastic for becoming the alternative of regular non-biodegradable plastics.</span><o:p></o:p>
