Potential of Dried Red Palm Leaves as Sheet Interior Material

Abstract

Red palm leaves only used as ornamental plants in the yard around the house, as they dry out and fall to the ground, they become unusable rubbish. Research has shown that red palm leaves are of high fiber quality. Red palm leaves are a good choice for furniture because they are durable and appealing in addition to having excellent fiber content and the level of quality[1]. This study seeks to serve as a resource of knowledge and a substitute for furniture craftsmen who want to utilize furniture mats made from leaf waste instead of wood or plastic. It can reduce the usage of inorganic resources that can harm the environment and nature through the use of materials from biological waste. Preparing tools and supplies, washing, drying, and shaping furniture mats are all steps in the process of creating organic furniture mats. Two parameters, namely the width of the palm leaf sheet with a size range of 2 cm and 3 cm, were identified as influences in this investigation [2]. The mechanical qualities of the red palm leaves used as the base for the organic furniture were tested, along with the leaves’ biodegradability and water permeability [3]. This is going to be a solution that may reduce waste from dried red palm tree leaves and work as a platform for furniture instead of using materials like wood and plastic that are bad for the environment.
