Problem Statement ID: SIH1499

Problem Statement: Green options for milk packaging (Low cost, environment-friendly, and extended shelf life packaging for milk). 

Description: A blend of rice husk, a readily available agricultural waste, with biodegradable polymer is ingeniously combined to create a low-cost biodegradable film suitable for milk packaging. This innovative approach repurposes rice husk, an abundant and often underutilized resource, to enhance the biodegradability and structural integrity of the film. The biodegradable polymer acts as a binding agent, allowing the rice husk particles to be evenly dispersed within the film, providing strength and flexibility essential for packaging applications. The resulting biodegradable film offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for milk packaging, aligning with environmental goals by reducing plastic waste and promoting a circular economy.
