Due to its non biodegradability more percentage of marine and land creatures have died. For 258 million tons only 35% of plastic materials was recycled out of 63% of solid waste which was generated in U.S on 2014.So we need to find an alternative method by implementing biochemical material for food packaging applications that could eventually decompose the plastic materials. So we planned to prepare a bio composite material which has a matrix phase and fibre phase which are of biochemical and natural compounds. The bio composite material consist of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) as a matrix phase and bamboo, groundnut, saw dust, tamarind are added as a reinforcement material. After preparing the bio composite material we have to conduct various tests for checking its properties. So various tests like tensile test, flexural strength of the material, impact test, water absorption test, biodegradability test are conducted for our bio composite materials to check its properties. From the experimental results we compared which bio composite material is more suitable for food packaging applications and the test results are mentioned below.
