The production of biodegradable mulch film by using Spent coffee ground as filler and waste cooking oil as bio-resin / Nuraizah Hanum Muhamad Sabuddin
Coffee is the second most popular beverage in the world next to the water. Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) are the leftover grounds from coffee consumption that are typically thrown away and eventually land in landfills. Due to the huge amount of SCG, it will give the negative effects on the environment...

Coffee is the second most popular beverage in the world next to the water. Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) are the leftover grounds from coffee consumption that are typically thrown away and eventually land in landfills. Due to the huge amount of SCG, it will give the negative effects on the environment which it requires a lot of oxygen to breakdown the SCG in landfills. Therefore, to save the environment SCG need to be develop into product with added value. In this research, SCG was used as filler with added of PLA as a natural polymer into the biodegradable mulch film. The biomass tested in this study are spent coffee ground (SCG), and poly(lactic) acid(PLA) was used to mix with the biomass in a different compositions (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt%). Three main tests including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), soil burial test and tensile strength test were taken place to study the characterize of biodegradable PLA mulch film.
