      abstract = {Bioplastics derived from renewable plant resources have gained immense attention as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. This study explores the use of starch extracted from Curcuma caesia rhizomes combined with fruit peels (red banana, Nenthiran banana, Poovan banana, and Kamala orange) as feedstock for bioplastic fabrication. The starch exhibited excellent binding properties, enabling the formation of uniform, flexible, and biodegradable sheets. Optimization of starch concentration, acid catalysis, and glycerol plasticization led to bioplastic films with an average thickness of 330 ? 20 ?m, comparable to commercial polyethylene sheets. Degradation studies in red soil demonstrated complete biodegradation within 60 days. This study highlights the potential of Curcuma caesia starch as a novel binder in bioplastic fabrication, supporting the circular economy through fruit peel valorization and offering a promising alternative for packaging applications.},
