This project explores the innovative use of fruit peel - banana to produce eco-friendly paper. With the increasing demand for paper and the ongoing deforestation crisis, there is an urgent need to find sustainable alternatives that do not involve cutting down trees. Fruit peels, which are usually discarded as waste, are rich in cellulose—the main component required to make paper. In this study, the fruit peels are cleaned, boiled, blended, and mixed with natural binders to form pulp. The pulp is then spread, pressed, and dried to create sheets of paper. The final product is biodegradable, recyclable, and suitable for light writing, crafts, and packaging. This project not only helps reduce organic waste but also promotes environmental awareness and sustainable practices.
