Rezerts Plan Ryu

The research plan proposes utilizing the abundant fibers from paragis (Eleusine Indica) grass as a source for paper production to address issues with deforestation and the environmental impacts of the paper manufacturing process. The goal is to assess the suitability of producing an eco-friendly paper from a low-cost raw material. The materials to be used include paragis grass as the main ingredient, baking soda or bleach as independent variables, and equipment for processing the fibers into paper such as a mortar and pestle, container, and drying materials. The procedure will involve collecting and boiling the grass, adding baking soda or bleach, pressing the pulp thin, drying the paper, and testing its properties.

Research plan

Proposed Study Title: Utilizing the abundancy of paragis (Eleusine Indica) fibre as source for paper
production

Name of Student: Julius S. Balanquit

A. QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS BEING ADDRESSED


Deforestation causes many problems such as soil erosion, climate change, loss of food and habitat of
animals which may lead to their extinction. In addition to deforestatn, the paper manufacturing process can
also lead to air and water pollution. Chemicals used in the process can contaminate water sources, leading
to water quality issues, and can also contribute to air pollution through the release of greenhouse gases and
other pollutants. In school, students waste too much papers. Some unwanted writings even on the unwritten
paper causes them to consider it as a garbage and throws it away which is a huge waste to the students
themselves, the paper industry and the country’s economy.

B. GOALS / EXPECTED OUTCOME


The objective of this research is to assess the suitability of producing an eco-friendly papers using low-cost
raw materials by mean of fibre from paragis (Eleusine Indica).

C. MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES

MATERIALS PURPOSE
Paragis Grass Main Ingredient of the
Study
Baking Soda / Bleach Independent Variable
Container Is where the paper is
pressed
Mortar And Pestle To pound the the pulp
Gloves, Hairnet, and Lab PPE (Personal Protective
gown Equipment)
Pen and Notes For taking notes
Stopwatch For timer
Measuring Cup For measurements
Pot For Boiling
Stirring Rod For Stirring

Procedures:

 Collect paragis grass then boil it.


 Add baking soda or bleach
 Let it boil for 2 hours
 Drain the boiled water and separate the pulp
 Use mortar and pestle for pressing and keep the pulp as thin as possible
 Let it dry for 24 hours
 Test the paper’s properties
