Abstract
A new biodegradable film, based on orange peel-derived pectin jelly and corn starch developed in our labs, was environmentally compared with a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film. An environmental assessment was realized in two stages to individually determine the environmental impact resulting from production-shaping processes and the biodegradation performance of the films.
