NIMALAN GURUNATHAN SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEBANGSAAN SULTAN ABU BAKAR

Eco-friendly seed balls using recycled paper present a sustainable approach to promoting greenery and environmental restoration. These seed balls are made by embedding seeds in shredded or pulped waste paper, often mixed with natural additives like compost or soil to enrich germination. The paper not only acts as a biodegradable protective layer but also retains moisture, aiding in seed sprouting. This method reduces paper waste, minimizes the need for plastic seed containers, and supports afforestation efforts with minimal ecological impact. Paper-based seed balls offer a simple, low-cost, and environmentally conscious solution for enhancing biodiversity and combating land degradation.
