Abstract

Areca belongs to the species <em>Areca catechu</em> L. under Arecaceae family believed to have its better formability, abundant, renewable, cost-effective and eco-friendly features. <em>Areca catechu</em> L. has natural fiber that intensely studied in the last years due to their specific properties and their positive environmental impact. This paper exhibits an outline on natural fibers of <em>Areca catechu</em> spathe and husk fiber which is an agricultural waste as a part of different commercial and engineering applications. The researchers have reported that <em>Areca catechu</em> spathe and husk fiber consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. It provide a potential use of natural fibers for make art paper. Therefore the determination of the chemical composition and stages of treatment for make pulp of the <em>Areca catechu</em> spathe and husk fiber is essential.
