| description | This research is born from the need to find a friendly solution to the environmental problems generated by the accumulation of packaging from recalcitrant polymers. Polymers derived from fossil waste are conventionally used in the packaging industry because they are difficult to break down, offer good deterioration protection, are highly resistant and low cost. The solution proposed is focused on the development of biodegradable polymers obtained from agro-industrial wastes rich in polysaccharides in order to substitute conventional materials and also give integral management of waste from the use of these by reincorporating them to the economic and productive cycle efficiently. The reincorporation of these residues is not only economical in that there is a valorization of that residue but also it is ecological in that the valorized product has a short time of life because it is biodegradable and can return to the natural biological cycles through a composting process. The aim of this research is to identify the availability and type of residue obtained from the pulping process of Maracuyá in the city of Bogotá as a research base to achieve the transformation of these into biodegradable polymers. Initially a search of the companies that processed Maracuyá and sold the pulp in the city of Bogota was made and contacted to apply a survey whose answers were tabulated and analyzed statistically. Subsequently developed products of massive use that demonstrate the achievement of the transformation of the residues into biodegradable polymers. With this study we obtained the willingness of several companies to donate monthly of 12771 Kg in three types of Maracuyá residues (split peel, chopped peel with seed, ground peel with seed) and several types of processing used in pulping. |
