        abstract = {In this research project, I explored an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic by making biodegradable films using gelatin and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). I have used the simple lab techniques to prepare these films and then tested their properties, including strength, thickness, solubility in water, and how well they break down in soil. FTIR and TGA were used to understand how the materials are bonded and how heat affects them. The results suggest that these films can  serve as a good substitute for the traditional plastic, especially for light packaging needs.},
