En un mundo donde la preservación del medio ambiente se ha convertido en una prioridad innegable, es crucial explorar opciones sustentables y amigables para tratar los residuos agroindustriales y así reducir el impacto ambiental. En este contexto, el presente estudio investigó la viabilidad de utilizar fibra de coco para fabricar macetas biodegradables. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un experimento con tres tipos de tratamientos a base de fibra de coco, almidón de maíz y vinagre en distintas concentraciones, todos evaluados estadísticamente mediante un ANOVA y el test de Tukey. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron un impacto significativo, tanto a nivel estadístico como práctico. El tratamiento T3 exhibió la mayor resistencia mecánica, con valores de 0.32 kN (compresión) y 0.71 kN (tracción). El tratamiento T2 presentó la mayor capacidad de absorción de agua inicialmente (46%), pero luego las macetas del tratamiento T3 superaron a las del tratamiento T1 en absorción. En cuanto a la degradación, el tratamiento T2 destacó con un 46% de degradación, seguido por T1 (18.88%) y T3 (10.75%). En conclusión, las macetas biodegradables fabricadas con fibra de coco en el tratamiento T3 exhibe la mayor resistencia mecánica, con valores de 0.32 kN (compresión) y 0.71 kN (tracción), así como una capacidad de absorción de agua que supera a la del tratamiento T1 a lo largo del tiempo, lo que lo posiciona como la opción más adecuada para aplicaciones que necesitan una combinación de durabilidad y retención de agua a largo plazo.
