Description
Summary:This study aims at explaining bioplastics’ use as a substitute for plastic base materials. Besides, it is also expected to help sustainable packaging innovation. The use of plastics continues to increase over time. Although plastic is difficult to decompose, its durability makes it still used for various product packaging. Contrary to its use, this resilience becomes an obstacle in protecting the environment from accumulating plastic waste. There are various solutions to replace plastic material with something more environmentally friendly. One of them is the use of bioplastics from cassava peels. This material, called bioplastic, is an innovation to protect the environment in environmentally friendly plastic. This innovation opens up opportunities to be used as a business that connects producers and customers through new technologies and products. The descriptive method used in this research was carried out in two stages: first, in the form of data collection techniques in the form of literature studies through internet resource searches. Second, based on the data obtained, it is used as a reference for determining visual information for packaging made from bioplastic. The visualization process uses Photoshop Creative Cloud 2018 software. The result is an illustration showing the characteristics of the bioplastic material derived from cassava peels and an environmentally friendly plastic material. An illustration in the form of information leads to the formation of conceptual businesses to increase buyer interest and the tendency to use bioplastics.
