utilization of the vegetable waste and their remains are a bigger challenge to the food industry. The vegetable peel waste is considered a potential source of ingredients for food packaging. The main idea of this research project is to focus on the utilization of the vegetable peel waste in developing it into a biodegradable rigid packaging material that will be further integrated with chitin extract. Chitin is used as the major binding agent in this development process. The strong cellulose component present in chitin will act as a great support to the rigid package material. Also, it will have better rigidity and stability. Chitin is chosen because of its high thermal stability, tough strength, tensile character, and biocompatibility and also because of its naturally occurring biopolymer. We intend to create biodegradable packaging as a new trend with the integration of vegetable peels and chitin. The shelf life, biochemical and certain physical parameters of the developed packaging material have also been tested and analyzed. Thus, we insist on developing an eco-friendly packaging system to reduce the sustaining harmfulness in the environment around.
