Plastic is a vital component of modern life, commonly used in daily food packaging for its convenience and durability. Plastic marketing bags are manufactured from low-density polythene (LDPE) which causes ecological inconvenience as most of the plastic components are stored in waste and underground conditions for an elongated time. Plastic is a synthetic or semi-synthetic material that does not decompose naturally, and its primary drawback is its environmental impact, prompting ongoing efforts to accelerate its biodegradation. A material that must be eroded, developing for any cause, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as being buried in the ground is interesting enough to reveal. In this study, potato starch (PS) was blended with LDPE by melt compound technique and followed by injection molding for PS/LDPE composite formation. The influence of PS concentration and starch cross-linker sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) with the additive of composite properties was examined. Mechanical assessment outcomes exhibit that with increasing PS content there is an increase in loss of tensile strength and elongation at break of untreated and treated composites. Exposure to PS/LDPE composites in Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as soil environments were implemented to analyze the biodegradability of composite. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the soil environment have lost weight and lost tensile properties due to increase PS and exposure periods, respectively. Modified PS composites also show less corrosion than unmodified PS/LDPE composites.

Keywords: Potato starch, LDPE, mechanical properties, morphology, biodegradability.
