Overview

Experimental analysis reveals NaOH pulping produces higher strength paper compared to wood ash lye in pineapple leaf agro-waste.

Key Points

  • The NaOH pulping method resulted in superior tensile strength of 500 N/m, promoting better writing quality.
  • Pineapple leaf agro-waste serves as a viable non-wood fiber source for sustainable and eco-friendly paper production.
  • The wood ash lye method produced thicker paper with lower mechanical strength of 410 N/m, but remains a cost-effective alternative.
  • This research promotes circular economic principles by demonstrating waste valorization and supporting local enterprises.
