Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable packaging has led to innovative approaches utilizing agricultural waste. This study explores the production and assessment of natural wrapping paper derived from banana peel waste, enhanced with essential oils. The research examines the impact of essential oils—cinnamon, lemon, clove, and lime—on the chemical and physical properties of the paper. A quantitative methodology was employed, investigating pH stability, water content, grammage, and flexibility in comparison to commercial wrapping paper standards. Findings indicate that essential oil additives significantly improve chemical stability, physical strength, and consumer appeal. Additionally, alkalization and delignification processes enhance the integration of essential oils, further optimizing paper quality. Life cycle assessment highlights the environmental benefits of banana peel waste utilization, promoting sustainability in packaging materials. This study contributes to the advancement of eco-friendly alternatives by validating the effectiveness of agricultural waste in high-quality paper production. Future research should explore additional additives and conduct long-term environmental impact assessments to refine sustainable material innovations.
