This technology focuses on the production of biodegradable films using extrusion processes, primarily utilizing guar gum as the base material. The methodology involves plasticizing guar gum, combining it with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and forming films through blown film extrusion. These films are suitable for general-purpose packaging, including food packaging and carry bags, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. The process is scalable and leverages locally available raw materials, making it economically viable.
