Use of carrots as a natural resource to transform them

into sheets of paper .

INTRODUCTION AND PROBLEM

It has been estimated that in the production of paper used for academic and
.
VITALITY
office activities, 17 trees are required for each ton produced, and for the year
approximately 170,000 hectares of trees in the country (minambiente.Gov.co, Members :
July 15, 2022 ); this means an accelerated process of deterioration of the
environment with serious consequences for the fauna, the stability of the earth
due to the impact of deforestation and, of course, with health problems for

human beings. • Carolina Castaño
Recent research has established that carrots have properties similar to those of • Juan Pablo Montoya
the wood from which paper is made, such as cellulose. This allows us to think as
a work team about the possibility of producing this input (paper) that is so

necessary in work and academic life based on these natural elements.

QUESTION Advisers :
How can we take advantage of the properties of carrots to transform them
into paper? • Cesar Sánchez
OBJECTIVES • Gonzalo Arturo Estrada

General: Transform carrots into paper, using their physical-chemical properties THANKS
to help reduce deforestation.
Specifics: To the Tecnoacademia instructors: Orlando Escorcia Nieto.
• Describe the physicochemical characteristics of the carrot.
• Design a method for the extraction of cellulose in carrots And the school teachers :
• Use the cellulose contained in carrots for the production of paper César Alberto Sánchez Ospina,

BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW
Discovering the necessary properties for the construction of
carrot-based paper and thus we can assimilate them with the
properties of the wood with which the current paper is
manufactured, and thus use them in our project.

RECREATION OF PHENOMENA
There are no projects that are based on the construction of paper with
carrots, but there are similar projects such as sugar cane-based paper, but
unlike this one, we use another raw material.
