METHOD OF MANUFACTURING BIOPLASTIC DERIVED FROM OATMEAL RESIDUE

A method of manufacturing bioplastic derived from oatmeal residue comprises producing a mixture of oat waste, polypropylene, additives, plasticizers and lubricants that can be applied in plastic injection, extrusion and thermoforming processes. The process is performed at a very economical cost due to the fact that the formulation is derived from post-industrial waste or by-products of the food and agricultural industry, which for the majority are considered as garbage. this invention of bioplastic from oat waste aims to reduce the carbon footprint, reduce the degradation times of plastic products at the lowest possible cost. In an alternative embodiment, an oatmeal hull residue-based bioplastic is disclosed.
