The pulp and paper making industry is looking for new main raw material based on its physical, chemical and morphological characteristics. Currently in this industry, bagasse is the most useful raw material in pulp and paper industry. There’s also some disadvantage of using bagasse. For example, bagasse has some limitations in terms of water resistance and bagasse-based products tend to be bulkier and heavier compared to conventional packaging materials, resulting in increased transportation costs and potential emissions during logistics. Optimization measures are needed to mitigate these challenges. The objective of this study is to produce a kind of paper made from tree leaves. The materials that been use is dry leaves , distilled water and sodium carbonate. The apparatus been used is blender , beaker , bunsen burner , strainer and towel. The dry leaves will be separated between petiole and leaves vein. It will be boil for 1hour and add 10 scoop of sodium carbonate into the beaker contain 1.6 liters of distilled water when it was boiling. All the materials need to be pulp by blender , boiling , cooling and drying. The paper will be left dry under the sunlight and been flattened. The objectives of this innovation is to get an organic paper that utilize dried leaves and thus lessen the wood needed in the manufacturing of paper. The organic paper that been innovated is not that suitable to be written using normal ink because it required a thick dark ink and also the organic paper can’t be folded or else it will break. But its ideal for calligraphy. In conclusion, an organic paper is produced.
