Abstract
In recent years, there has been tremendous growth of interest in the utilization of non-wood based material to support the insufficient raw materials availability for the pulp and paper industry. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of 120 gsm linerboard and corrugated medium paper made from unbeaten durian rinds chemi-mechanical (CMP) pulp. The linerboard and corrugated medium paper were prepared and tested according to Malaysian Standards / International Organization for Standardization (MS ISO) and Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) standard methods. Based on the burst index (2.03 kPa.m 2 /g), RCT (1.97 N.m 2 /g) and CMT (129N), the linerboard and corrugated medium from CMP durian rind pulp have shown a good potential as an alternative raw material for papermaking and comparable with other types of wood and non-wood based papers as well as current commercial papers.

In order to extend the study on utilizing durian rinds waste as packaging alternative raw material, this study was conducted to investigate the potential of durian rinds chemi-mechanical pulp (CMP) pulp as linerboard and corrugated medium paper
The results show that durian rinds CMP is comparable with other types of raw materials for papermaking
Summary
MATEC Web of Conferences palm male flower spikes [10,11]. Malaysia has an abundance of agro waste materials which have not been fully utilized [12]. In Malaysia, based on a study by Amid and Mirhosseini [16] stated that the rind constitutes in average about 45% for each mature fruit, Aditiya et al [15] have calculated that durian rind waste generates about 133,688 to 171,303.9 metric tons from the year of 2006 until 2013 [15]. The utilization of the durian rinds waste as pulp and paper alternative raw material would be beneficial. Based on the authors’ best knowledge there were limited research attentions and published works on the utilization of durian rinds waste as an alternative papermaking material. In order to extend the study on utilizing durian rinds waste as packaging alternative raw material, this study was conducted to investigate the potential of durian rinds CMP pulp as linerboard and corrugated medium paper
