| dc.description.abstract | In response to the escalating environmental concerns surrounding the waste of coconut fiber or husk, the study introduces a pioneering solution by producing a commercial product from the said waste. This paved way to the development of a coconut fiber pot making machine. The machine incorporates the environmental sustainability of the production process of biodegradable pots using coconut fiber as the primary raw material. Transforming agricultural by-products into value-added materials. The fiber pot making machine was designed to produce 4 pots per molding that can produced 88 pots per day and can be used for ornamental purposes. The researchers produced coconut fiber mats using three different ratios of binder and water: 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 to effectively establish the best ratio for the pot making. The study reveals that the 1:2 and 2:1 ratios are the best for molding pots, with no significant differences in durability. The 1:2 ratio, with 30g of glue, 72 g of water and 58 g of fiber, provides high durability and consumes less waw material, making it cost-effective and resource efficient. this ratio is recommended for large-scale production and sustainability. | |
