Most turtles die choking Polyethylene Ether (PEE) plastic bags because it is undissolved in water causing them to mistaken plastic for their food, which is jellyfish. The other problems, we only consumed the beans of Parkia Speciosa while the peels are disposed. Instead of wasting, we use the peels to create Biopetic shopping bag. Our Biopetic bag is dissolvable in water, flexible and highly durable. Firstly, Parkia Speciosa peels is blended with 1000ml of water. After that, the solution is filtered. Then, thIs solution is measured to 360ml and boiled.Then, boiled solution is poured into a shopping bag mould ,and let dry for 3 days at room temperature. This innovation is cheap and sustainable saving the earth.
