Abstract

Purpose this project initially is to design and develop a multipurpose biodegradable food Packaging and develop it which is can satitsfies customer requirement and solves problem such as not comfortable and no added compartment. A questionnaire survey is conducted as preliminary research to establish the consumers' requirements early in the project. The technical qualities of these clients' requests are ranked using an AHP pairwise comparison matrix. The House of Quality (HOQ) is the method's principal tool, where all of this data will be recorded and calculated. Besides, this project is also focus on how the product will give the impact to the environment. So, with the using of Gabi, it will help to know and identify which material whether the biodegradable or non-biodegradable will give the higher impact to the environment. From the result, the material that make the higher impact to the environment is Polypropylene (PP). This is because chemical in the polypropylene release harmful substance that can occur pollution. So, based on the findings, Polylactic Acid (PLA) is the right material that can be used for making a product. By using biodegradable plastics, it give many advantages such as produce less emission, less waste, less energy and can be decompose quickly.
