Description
High paper production demand can cause a year-over-year increase in deforestation. This increased deforestation could increase environmental issues like flash flooding and global warming. This negative effect is not good for the environment, particularly for humans and other habitats that need this forest resource to live in. The need to replace wood fibres with non-wood fibres should, therefore, be carefully considered as a substitute for paper making without cutting more trees. Non-wood fiber production is environmentally friendly and significantly impacts forest growth and conservation. The significance of this study is to expose others to new inventions of making pulp for paper by using another source, such as wood. The production of pineapple leaf paper will help decrease deforestation by making paper using wood. However, it will introduce the production of biodegradable, biocompatible and eco-friendly paper using non-wood material. This will help the industry implement clean technologies to bring about a new economic and environmental order. Meanwhile, magnetic material inside the paper acts as a filler will improved the quality and strength of the paper. This paper will discuss several characterizations for the physical properties of magnetic pineapple leaves paper.
