| Abstract: |
| Environmental friendly alternative to commonly used polystyrene based packaging. Polystyrene packaging are commonly used for packing of different electronic items. Polystyrene is hazardous to environment and causes serious respiration problems. In order to cater this biodegradable packaging is introduced which is based on bio-waste material and can be degraded easily in soil. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Our society is suffering from environmental pollution and polystyrene based packaging is one of the reason of environmental pollution and global warming. We have prepared an alternative packing material which is made up of bio-waste. It fulfills the need to cater environmental pollution |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Its a basic need of society. It will benefit living organisms. It helps to reduce environmental pollution |
| How will the solution works |
| Our solution is an alternative to conventional non-recyclable polystyrene based packaging. We are making biodegradable packing material which is recyclable. It is made up of bio-waste and a binder. The material can be prepared by mixing components at specific ratio and by compression molding at certain temperature and pressure. It can be decompose inside earth due to microbial action. We are utilizing waste material into useful product and playing our part in reducing environmental pollution. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| In Pakistan we do not have any competitors right now. But at international level many researchers are working on it. Our solution is different in a sense that we are using that waste material which is readily available locally and binder is available which is also very cheap |
