Executive Summary This report is written in response to a letter of authorisation requesting a design proposal and the implementation of biodegradable materials into the production of biodegradable pills and capsules medicine packaging, to reduce the waste produced from the disposal of current medicine packaging, which contain non-biodegradable materials such as aluminium and plastics. Currently, non-biodegradable waste are either disposed into the landfills or thrown into the ocean, actions that have caused detrimental effects on the environment, including wildlife.
