Abstract	This study focuses on developing a biodegradable bioplastic film using banana peel and corn starch as primary materials. The banana peel provides a rich source of cellulose, while corn starch contributes to the film's strength and flexibility. The materials were blended with natural plasticizers, heated, and moulded into films. The bioplastic film was characterized by analytical techniques such as FTIR, TGA-DSC and Load test. Biofilms are environmentally friendly as they can naturally filter pollutants, promote nutrient cycling, and support sustainable waste treatment processes in ecosystems. This approach not only reduces waste but also promotes the use of agricultural by-products, contributing to sustainable resource management and environmental conservation.
