Abstract
Activated carbon was successfully derived from scrap tile waste from thermochemical conversion. Chemical and physical modifications were therefore employed to modify the specific surface area and porosity of activated carbon. Cellulose was successfully extracted from palm front. Designation of waste composite was prepared by cellulose and activated carbon. Less than 30 wt% of activated carbon was integrated into cellulose sheet matrix. It was important to note that there is no change in mechanical and morphological properties. Small amount of activated carbon was well dispersed. In order to investigate the feasibility of composite as active packaging, oxygen permeation rate and ethylene gas adsorption ability were preliminary investigated.

The high performance in specific surface area and porosity was observed after chemical modification
Summary
The push towards the development of biobased materials has been evident. Numerous approaches have been extremely investigated on the feasibility of biobased materials for many purposes. On the other hand, biobased materials were considered as biomass The existence of these biobased resources should be preferably investigated as well as their feasibility in order to replace the conventional nonrenewable materials. Due to the growth of worldwide population, it should be encouraged that the emergence of novel technology based on “green product and process” be endorsed. It was involved in the design of product and process which minimizes the use and the generation of hazardous materials. To become innovative in green technology, numerous approaches have been investigated from academic research to industrial commercialization. One of the excellent strategic routes was related to waste development
