This study is to produce an eco-friendly, nontoxic and easily biodegradable plastic film from the naturally available source that is seaweeds abundantly found all over the world. The alginate extracted from the Sargassum sp., a brown macroalgae is used to make bioplastic film as an alternative to the conventional plastics. Due to its high degradability and non-toxicity this could be used to replace the application of single use plastics. As seaweeds exhibit antimicrobial activity, they could enhance the effective production of bioplastic film which could be used for food packaging. Seaweeds can be used to make bioplastics as an alternative since they are numerous and can be cultivated in a wide range of environmental conditions. They are also less expensive than natural sources such as plants and other biomass. As a result, it is more quickly degraded, there will be no health or environmental problems. This study demonstrates bioplastic's ability to reduce the use of synthetic plastics. Sargassum is a seaweed that belongs to the Phaeophyceae class of brown algae, from which alginate is extracted and used for the processing of bioplastics. The study's major objective is to reach out to the biodegradable plastics sector as a viable alternative to non-biodegradable plastics. The biodegradable film was produced, and further studies need to be done for the properties of seaweed.
