POBZEA
POLYBAG FROM CORN HUSK

IHSANUDDIN | ADAM HARITH | AMALIN LIYANA

 INTRODUCTION
Plastic bags have been used widely in our world.
Plastics are used as poly-bags.

Corn husks are one of the most common waste in

our world today. However, its true potential to
save the environment has never been
highlighted. As corn husks are thrown away
without being used to benefit our environment.
Our project is able to proof that it can also be
used to save the environment.
 PROBLEM STATEMENTS
Current plastic bag causes environmental problems.

Plastic bag harms the wildlife.

Plastic bag takes a long time to be decomposed.

The urge to find an alternative.

 HYPOTHESIS
Corn husk can be used to make
biodegradable bag to
replace the current Poly-bag.
 OBJECTIVES
1.Utilize the waste of natural
resources.
2.Replace the usage of plastic
bags nowadays.
3.Make the environment
cleaner.
