CHAPTER V

SUMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter answers the statement of the problem. It also presents some conclusions that

were observed by the researchers throughout the making of the project. Recommendations were

also added for the future researchers who would be conducting similar studies in the future.

Summary of Findings

The needed observations and trials were already conducted. Enough data was already

acquired. Answering the statement of the problem is now possible.

1. What is the disparity between the Banana Peel Paper and Corn Husk Paper?

The differences between the Banana Peel Paper and Corn Husks Paper can

be categorized with the texture, color, and appearance. The Banana Peel paper

produced a paper that shows to be economically friendly for it can help in the

making of box, cartons, and egg tray. While the Corn Husks Paper produced a

paper that is usually used for decorative purposes.

2. What is the difference between the texture of Banana Peel Paper and Corn Husk

Paper?

The banana peel produced a paper with a smoother surface. Its surface is

more even than the surface of the corn husks. On the other hand, the corn husks

produced a paper that has a rougher surface. The fibers of the corn husks are still

visible. Since the fibers are still visible, it can be a good use for decorative

purposes.

 3. What kind of paper resembles the Banana Peel Paper?

The banana peel produced a paper that was similar to a paperboard.

Paperboard is a kind of paper that is usually firm and thick. IT is commonly used

for the making of cartons, boxes, and egg trays. Usually the paperboard is brown

in color just like what the banana peel paper has produced.

4. What kind of paper resembles the Corn Husk Paper?

The corn husks produced a paper that was similar to the textured paper.

Textured paper is commonly used for decorative purposes. It is usually used for

making scrapbooks.

Conclusion

Throughout the process of this project and after all the observation that the researchers

had completed, they can now consummate that it is possible to produce a paper out of corn husks

and banana peels. The process is quite complicated but very educational. With the help of the

cornstarch, both papers were produced successfully for it served as the binding agent and the

whitening formula. The number of minutes for boiling and blending the corn husks and banana

peels greatly affects the mixture’s consistency. The number of hours left under the sun should be

strictly followed as this affects the flexibility of the product. The longer the drying session under

the sun; the less flexible would be the product, the more tendencies that it will break.

Recommendations

Following are the recommendations given by the researchers for further improvement of

the project. This is given to help the future researchers to create a better and developed product.

1. Future researchers should conduct wider range of study about the materials and

procedures.

Further researches are needed for the materials needed for this product to be

completely useable. Study for possible materials that will help in the improvement of the

product. The researchers believe that not only corn husks and banana peel can be used but

also other materials. Also, adding new procedures can help in improving the product.

2. Use variety of materials as sources of plant fiber.

Using different types of plant fibers would give you more options and comparisons.

Instead of focusing on corn husks and banana peel, you can also try using other fibrous

materials.

3. Be careful with the ratio or proportion of the materials, especially for blending.

The researchers recommend that when you are blending, the water should be less

than the corn husk or banana peel. Meaning, if you put 1 cup of banana peel or corn husk

in the blender the water should be ½ cup. The amount of water must be less than the

amount of fiber you desired, either banana peel or corn husk. You can also use different

plant fibers other than, banana peels and corn husks. It is also better to use an uncooked

starch than the one heated with water.
