Research Problem
Petrochemical plastic is usually created
from synthetic chemicals which are
derived from fossil fuels. Due to its
convenient properties, it does not lose its Common Petrochemical
trend on the market. However, these
resources that manufacturing companies
continually use are depleting rapidly. Just
like fossil fuels, which took millions of
years to form, the uncontrollable
consummation of these substances will
leave nothing to the next generation
which is why it is needed to find an
alternative solution.

Template for Research Title Proposal
Proposed Title
Starch-Based Bioplastic
Bags As Alternative For
Plastic Bags
Goals and Objectives
The general objective of this study is to address the need to find
an alternative way on lessening waste pollution prevailing all
over the world by introducing these types of products. This also
aims to promote environment-friendly substances to the market
and to lessen the consummation of non-renewable materials.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to identify the effectiveness of bioplastic bags as
an alternative to petrochemical plastic bags. Specifically, it seeks
answers for the following:
1. Is it feasible to produce bioplastic bags based on starch as
an alternative for petrochemical plastic bags?
2. Is there a significant difference between the properties of
petrochemical plastic bags and bioplastic bags in terms of:
a. Main Component
b. Durability
c. Degradability
d. Texture
e. Weight
f. Tensile Strength
3. Can the bioplastic bags produced from starch be an
alternative plastic bag if used?
4. Based on the results, what recommendations can be
proposed to the beneficiaries?
