PANDAN LEAVES AS AN ALTERNATIVE RAW MATERIAL FOR HANDMADE

PAPER PRODUCTION
 Paper is preferred to be used these days to
help in reducing garbage production.
 In the U.S. alone, they
approximately cut more than
68 million trees each year.
 In the Philippines, the paper industry
plays a vital role in the economic
development in the country.
 Pandan is commonly seen in the
Philippines and salt tolerant plant that
grows by the shore in Western Pacific
Islands.

What are the values of the different properties of Pandan
1 Paper and Pandan with Used Paper?

Is there a significant difference between

2 Pandan Paper and Pandan with Used Paper?

3 What products is Pandan paper applicable to?

 RESEARCH GAPS

 CONCLUSION
Pandan has a potential to be used as an
alternative raw material for handmade
paper making

Adding used paper on pure fibers can

produce a valuable paper product and can
improve paper’s tearing index.
