BANANA PEELS

ALTERNATIVE FOR
PAPER PRODUCTION
 The Objectives
To determine the potential use of To have an alternative source in
banana peel to be a raw material in reducing the dependence of
papermaking. wood in paper

To recognized the banana peels as

an eco friendly paper that would
benefit in the area of recycling
Introduction
Paper is one of the major materials used nowadays in schools, offices, etc. Some papers
are made brand-new from trees either small or large trees - are harvested just for the
purpose. If this is the case paper companies will need to cut down trees to provide paper
for the community. Today, with the increasing number of calamities, trees must be
preserved to avoid flood, instead of cutting down trees for providing paper, there is a need
to search and design a wise and cheap alternative source of paper.The use of botanical
materials is increasingly gaining popularity as strategic approach toward a sustainable
environment and production of safe materials. Banana is one of the leading fruit grown in
the Philippines and a consistent top dollar earner. It makes bananas abundant in the
Philippines because of its tropical climate. More than 50 different kinds of bananas are
found in our country. The banana fruit when ripe is eaten, living behind the banana peel.
The study was made to make paper out of banana peel, to reduce waste as well as the
cutting down of trees. The researchers aimed to come up with a paper that is ofhigh
quality but on the other hand must also be cost efficient, and most importantly
environmental friendly.
 Scope of limitation of the study

Environment

Using the product lessen the cutting of trees in the locality, and reduce the
waste scattered in the surroundings Community. The insights and valuable
information from this study would help people in the locality to make paper
out of the littered banana peelin their houses and it will also reduce the waste
in the community. Researchers. The gathered data would motivate them and
help them to conduct further researches in line with this study. Scopes and
Delimitation This study is focused mainly on the use of banana peelings in
the production of paper. The researchers did not dwell on the chemical
composition of the peelings.
