The environmental pollution caused by synthetic plastic has encouraged the search for eco-friendly and halal-compliant packaging alternatives. One promising alternative is starch-based bioplastics derived from Indonesian local tubers. This study aims to evaluate the potential of six local tubers, namely purple yam (Dioscorea alata), taro (Colocasia esculenta), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), porang (Amorphophallus muelleri), canna (Canna edulis), and cassava (Manihot esculenta), as the basis for eco-halal bioplastics. This research employed a literature review method using national and international journals that focus on the development and characterization of bioplastics from these tubers. The results indicate that all tubers contain starch or glucomannan suitable for forming bioplastic films, primarily produced through casting techniques and enhanced with plasticizers (glycerol, sorbitol) and additives (chitosan, ZnO, cellulose acetate). Porang demonstrated the highest biodegradability, while cassava and purple yamexhibited optimal mechanical strength and flexibility. All materials were derived from plant-based sources, ensuring halal compliance. These local tuber-based bioplastics show promising potential as environmentally friendly, economical, and halal-certified food packaging solutions.
