    The document discusses the production and testing of edible cutlery made from tapioca as an alternative to plastic cutlery. It describes the process of making the tapioca edible cutlery which includes drafting a design, gathering materials, and producing the cutlery. It then explains two tests conducted on the cutlery: a hygroscopy test to determine strength and a soil burial test to examine biodegradability. The output is tapioca edible cutlery that is both strong and biodegradable, providing a more sustainable replacement for plastic utensils.

    CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

    Plastic is a versatile material that we use everyday. After its introduction,

    Plastics have become a regular material. Families saw the benefits of plastic tableware.

    Companies soon began to produce plastic spoons, forks and knives that were not easily

    broken, easy to clean, come in different colors, and inexpensive. This eliminates the

    need to use water, electricity, and manpower to clean them. Therefore, these

    disposable tableware are very popular in fast food restaurants. After only one use, most

    of them are thrown away and eventually go to landfills and our waterways. However,

    plastic tableware is an item that will not be recycled even if you put it in the recycling

    bin. It's too polluted, too small, it's too light. Therefore, the 40 billion plastic utensils

    each year are completely wasted.

    Edible cutlery is a perfect alternative to harmful plastic cutlery. It is not

    only safe for the environment, but also rich in nutrients. If you can simply eat whatever

    you want to recycle, you don't have to worry about garbage disposal and waste

    recycling. They are supposed to be the solution to the problem of waste disposal of non-

    recyclable materials. In connection with this, the researchers came up with the idea of

    making edible cutlery with Tapioca(Cassava Starch) as the main ingredient to make it

    long lasting, more efficient and less expensive.
