Preparation of Fiber Paper from Banana Stem

Abstract

Paper has played a vital role throughout human history. It may be used for a variety of tasks such as writing, packing, and printing. Paper was traditionally made from cellulose fibers, which were obtained from a variety of plant species, both woody and non-woody, in the conventional manner. This procedure was carried out via the use of different kinds of chemical treatment, which is very hazardous to the environment. Whatever the case, it is critical to guarantee that the paper-making process and the raw materials used are environmentally friendly, so that they do not do damage to the surrounding environment. Discharge from banana waste produces a foul odor and causes a variety of issues, including pollution of the environment, filthiness of the environment, and the production of a foul odor. In order to mitigate these issues, a paper produced from the banana plant may be used as an alternative to traditional packaging materials. Due to the fact that it is produced from banana fiber, this study was primarily conducted to replace traditional paper with a new developed paper that is eco-friendly, non-chemical based, and cost efficient.
