    The document proposes developing biodegradable packaging from modified poly lactic acid (PLA) that degrades at room temperature. Currently, most plastics take 100-500 years to degrade, contributing to environmental pollution. The project aims to identify properties needed for PLA to degrade at room temperature and apply it to food packaging and bags. This would help reduce plastic waste and make use of discarded cassava starch in producing the biodegradable material. The team will develop a protocol to modify PLA and test its application to packaging and bags.

    Currently, the increase in the production of plastics has
    become a serious problem since according to UN
    (2018), more than 400 million tons of plastic are
    produced each year, of which only 9% is recycled, 99%
    of the production of these is of synthetic origin, their
    degradation depends on the size ranging from 100 to
    500 years. In Colombia, according to El Spectator
    (2018), about 12 million tons of plastics are generated,
    of which only 17% is recyclable; In the case of Medellín
    according to El Tempo (2019), it generated 12,000 tons
