Develop Biodegradable Cup from Sugarcane: Addressing Climate Change Challenges with a Renewable and Sustainable Solution to Reduce Plastic Waste and Deforestation, Enhance Environmental Resilience.
The impact of our project, focused on developing biodegradable cups from sugarcane, is significant.
Firstly, by providing an alternative to conventional plastic and paper cups, our project directly contributes to reducing environmental pollution. The use of sugarcane helps mitigate the issues associated with plastic waste and deforestation caused by paper cup production.
Our social media campaign, workshops, and educational materials have successfully raised awareness about the environmental benefits of biodegradable packaging, influencing public perception and encouraging a shift towards more sustainable choices. The community engagement through workshops and poster competitions , article writing competitions has fostered a deeper understanding of environmental issues and sustainable practices among participants.
The questionnaire and survey conducted have provided valuable insights into public attitudes towards biodegradable packaging, allowing us to refine our approach and better address community concerns.
The fruit crop distribution and planting programs have further supported climate mitigation efforts by enhancing green spaces and promoting environmental stewardship in local schools.
Overall, our project has not only advanced the development of a practical eco-friendly product but has also inspired broader community action and discussion, contributing to a more informed and proactive approach to environmental sustainability.
