        abstract = {The environmental impact of traditional petroleum-based plastics has created an urgent need for sustainable alternatives. This paper investigates the synthesis of bioplastics using fruit peels, an abundant organic waste material rich in starch and cellulose. The process involves chemical extraction, plasticization, and moulding to produce a biodegradable material. Testing revealed promising results in biodegradability and mechanical properties, although improvements in water resistance are necessary. This study demonstrates the potential of fruit peel-based bioplastics to address plastic pollution and promote waste valorisation in a circular economy.},
