Investigation and Properties of Waste Banana Peel Composite for Paper Making Consist of Egg Shell

Abstract

Banana peels also include a range of starch and non-starchy chemicals, including cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, pectin, and several other organic molecules. The banana peel's makeup is mostly made up of these non-starchy ingredients. Plant cell walls are structurally supported by the complex polysaccharide’s cellulose and hemicellulose. Lignin is a sophisticated polymer that gives plant tissues stiffness. A form of carbohydrate called pectin has qualities that let it gel and function as a natural glue. The paper making continued growth with a new combination for reducing the cost of paper. The study of the waste box (WB), waste banana peel (WBP), and eggshells as a filler is tested for paper making using a pneumatic sheet press machine for 3 minutes. This paper was dried under the sunlight or iron until it was dried properly. The qualities for paper production are demonstrated by using varied grams of each paper throughout the combination paper-producing process and evaluating the physical and mechanical properties of paper made from different combinations. The evaluation involved the waste box and waste banana peel composite consisting of eggshells with a tensile strength test, tear test, and physical testing using a microscope, as well as determining starch and non-starch with iodine solution as testing.
