Abstract
Every year above 15 million trees are cut down for various purposes. In which around 8 million trees are only cut down for paper production. This number is increasing every year which is causing climate calamities, disappearance of wildlife, emission of greenhouse gases, soil erosion, etc. We can’t stop the use of paper, but we can find an alternative for making of it. Every year tons of onion waste are produced worldwide in which outer onion skin contributes up to 70% of this waste. This waste can cause environmental problems when not properly treated. In this paper, an attempt has made for production of paper using onion peels. For the pulping of onion skin soda process has been used. Paper produced was light and white and can be used for decorative purposes.
