Environmental pollution caused by solid waste is a global concern. Solid waste can be categorized according to its source, for example domestic solid waste, agricultural solid waste, construction solid waste, and regulated medical solid waste. Sustainable waste management assist in dealing with environmental pollution problems. Based on that awareness, this project addresses these concerns by adopting an environmentally conscious approach. The initiative involves utilizing waste paper and agricultural waste, specifically coconut husk, to develop waterproof eco-paper that has the potential to substitute non-environmentally friendly packaging materials. The aim of this project is to assess the wettability of recycled paper based on coconut husk. This project introduces an innovative method for recycling paper, encompassing, pulping and fabrication of eco-paper. Eco-paper which consists of natural materials and contains 2% coconut husk provides extraordinary characteristics such as water resistant, harmless, lightweight and strong. Furthermore, it has potential to be used in packaging and can indirectly replace non-environmentally packaging materials such as plastics. In addition, it’s help reducing deforestation and helping to promote clean and affordable energy.
