Abstract Plastic pollution poses a major threat to ecosystems and human health due the slow decomposition of conventional plastics. This study aims develop sustainable bioplastic with enhanced mechanical properties using sodium alginate extracted from brown algae calcium carbonate organic eggshells. The was fabricated tested for tensile strength, water absorbability, biodegradability. results revealed that incorporation eggshell powder increased hanging strength by 1800% compared control samples, while biodegradability improved significantly, complete degradation achieved within seven days. However, an increase in absorbability observed, attributed hydrophilic nature alginate. Future studies will focus on enhancing hydrophobic thermal bioplastic. These findings contribute growing efforts affordable, high-performance biodegradable plastics, supporting sustainability goals United Arab Emirates beyond.
