Manufacture of Syringes made of Natural Polymers Derived from Avocado Seed

Abstract

This project aims to develop a biodegradable syringe to reduce plastic waste pollution, especially in sectors like healthcare and livestock production. The premise is to study the avocado seed through processes like grinding, decantation, drying, and mixing to create an environmentally friendly biopolymer plastic. Current syringes are made of non-biodegradable and non-recyclable plastic materials, worsening pollution due to their handling and hazardous nature. In contrast, our product can be disposed of in landfills, degrading within 180 days without causing contamination. This approach offers a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics, which are challenging to control, recycle, and separate due to their properties.
