Propuesta para la elaboración de papel biodegradable a partir de la planta de plátano en Procol S.A.S por medio del método a la sosa

The increase in paper production that occurs year after year, energy expenditure, pollution rates, reduction of natural resources, deforestation, social well-being, and the inadequacy of waste management generated during paper production, has raised the obligation to investigate alternatives for the reuse of agricultural waste which represents more than half of solid waste in low-income countries, in order to use them as a resource to develop other useful products [1]. That is why this project emphasizes a bibliographic review of the use of the banana plant, and is proposed to use the plant residues produced in the harvest and post-harvest of the same, considering that the stem and stem are wasted in the crops. the leaves, which can be used to use the cellulose from the stem as raw material for the production of biodegradable paper. From there, the following research questions were posed: Would the soda method allow waste from the banana plant to be transformed into the material of interest, would it meet the optical-physical conditions of paper?
