Abstract

Paper production is one of the major causes of deforestation, around the world this contributes to the rising quantity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and, as a result, led to global warming. In this paper, a sustainable solution for the production of paper from tea leaf waste has been reported. Organic waste such as waste tea-leaf, mango seeds, and Indian blackberry seeds are used as an alternative source for paper making. Metal nanoparticles have been incorporated in this paper to enhance the utility. These improved the quality of the synthesized paper by imparting microbial resistance, whiteness, hydrophobicity, and high strength to the synthesized paper. Limonene was also used for increasing the shelf-life of the paper produced. The synthesized paper was produced successfully with all the basic required qualities. Paper produced is cost-effective, writeable, with good tearing strength and shelf-life. The produced paper was kept under observation for one year and it retained the properties for the time. The texture of the paper produced is somewhat like cardboard which can prove to be a good packing paper material, with other uses of a similar kind.
