How to make bio-degradable bags from cassava starch?

Introduction

We often talk about how we need to reduce garbage and create less waste, but we don't always have time or resources to go out and buy new items. That's why today we're going to show you how to make your own bio-degradable bags from cassava starch!

Materials you need

• Cassava starch flour
• Salt and water
• Fine cloth like cotton or burlap
• Polyethylene sheeting or thin plastic sheeting

Cassava starch flour

Cassava starch flour is a by-product of cassava root. It's a gluten-free, non-GMO alternative to wheat flour that can be used in baking or as a thickening agent for soups and stews.

Cassava starch flour comes in two forms: granulated and powdery. The granulated form has more starch than the powdered version and is good for making batters or doughs that need to be baked into crispier foods like cookies or crackers (as opposed to just being cooked). You can find both types at your local grocery store or online through Amazon Prime Pantry!

Once you've purchased your cassava starch flours, make sure you store them properly so they don't go rancid before their expiration date! Storing them in plastic bags will help keep out moisture while keeping them fresh at room temperature--but if you're concerned about insects getting into them (or want extra protection against humidity), keeping them in an airtight container would also work well too!

Salt and water

• Mix 1 cup of salt and 1 cup of water in a bowl.
• If you need more liquid, add some more water until the mixture is like thick pancake batter (it shouldn't be runny).

Fine cloth like cotton or burlap

• Cotton
• Burlap

You can use any fine cloth for this. The choice of material is up to you, but it should be something that can easily be sewn and cut into pieces without much effort. Some examples are:

• Fine cotton or linen cloth (without any seams)
• Fine burlap (without any seams)

Polyethylene sheeting or thin plastic sheeting

Polyethylene sheeting or thin plastic sheeting can be used to make the bag. Polyethylene is a more durable material than thin plastic, but it's also harder to work with. Thin plastic is easier to work with and more flexible, but not as durable as polyethylene.

You can make bio-degradable bags by yourself.

You can make bio-degradable bags by yourself. Here are the steps:

• Take cassava starch, salt, and water in a pot and cook it until it becomes thick.
• Add some fine cloth like cotton or burlap to the mixture and stir well so that all the ingredients are mixed up together well enough for you to create a ball out of them later on; this will be your bag's skin! You should cover this with another sheet of plastic sheeting before laying down your balls onto an oven tray so they don't stick together while they're drying out (you'll need several trays).
• Bake them at 120 degrees Celsius/250 Fahrenheit for about half an hour until they've dried completely - this may take longer if you're using thicker material such as polyethylene sheeting instead of thin plastic sheeting

Cassava root grows abundantly in sub-Saharan Africa, where farmers have traditionally used it as a main source of food.

Cassava root, also known as manioc, is a major food crop in the tropics. It is a staple crop in many sub-Saharan African countries and also grown in South America, Asia and the Pacific. Cassava is also used for animal feed and to make bio-degradable bags

It is cultivated in over 200 countries at present, growing mostly in tropical and subtropical regions with a warm climate.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a perennial plant that grows in tropical and subtropical regions. It has been cultivated for over 5,000 years and is one of the major staple foods in tropical Africa, Asia and Latin America. The cassava plant can grow up to 8 feet tall under ideal conditions; however most varieties grown commercially reach heights of 4-5 feet at maturity.

Cassava has a high yield potential with each hectare producing an average annual yield of 30 tons/ha with good management practices such as appropriate crop rotation, fertilization, pest control and weed control methods used effectively during cultivation period

The cassava plant can be used to produce bio-degradable bags.

Cassava is a tropical plant that can be grown in warm climates. It is native to South America and has been cultivated for over 8,000 years. The cassava plant produces roots that can be eaten as food, but it also has many other uses:

• Cassava starch can be used to make bio-degradable bags
• The leaves are used as animal feed or fertilizer
• The wood from the tree is used for construction materials

The traditional process is time consuming, energy intensive and uses large quantities of water.

The traditional process is time consuming, energy intensive and uses large quantities of water. In fact, it can take up to 12 hours for cassava starch to be dried in the sun before being ground into powder. This method also requires large amounts of fuel or electricity for drying purposes which means that it contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.

Bio-degradable bags are made by pressing cassava roots into thin sheets and then cutting them into desired shapes and sizes.

To make the bags, you need to press cassava roots into thin sheets and then cut them into desired shapes and sizes.

The best way to do this is by using an industrial-sized presser or a hand-operated one like the one shown in the picture below:

You can also use a rolling pin if you want some exercise! Pressing involves placing your cassava roots between two wooden boards with grooves on top that act like rollers, then pressing down on them until they're flat enough for you to use as bags. You'll need about 2 kg of raw material per 1 meter square of bag material (which will make about 4 x 5 inches).

In order to reduce greenhouse emissions from the production of bio-degradable bags

When you're shopping, you can't help but notice the number of plastic bags that are used at stores. They're everywhere! And they don't really go away; they just break down into smaller pieces and end up in our oceans and landfills.

Plastic bags are made from petroleum products, which means that a lot of energy is required to make them. This means greenhouse emissions as well as water pollution when these plastics are produced or discarded improperly (i.e., not recycled).

To reduce these impacts on our environment, some companies have tried making bio-degradable bags out of cassava starch instead. But the process for doing so is still very resource intensive: it requires large quantities of water and time (for example, drying out) before they can be used by consumers who want their products wrapped up in something other than plastic wrap or foil packaging!

Conclusion

You can make bio-degradable bags by yourself.
