Plantain stem have a high cellulose content, which has drawn significant attention from academics and industry professionals seeking to create pulp and paper that is environmentally friendly. The method used for turning these plantain stem into pulp and paper was found to be soda chemical pulping. Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the chemical structure of the bleached and unbleached pulp obtained from he pulping and bleaching pocesss was ascertained. The effects of these independent variables (temperature, concentration of sodium hydroxide, and cooking time) on pulp yield were investigated using the response surface method (RSM). The ideal circumstances were attained concerning the three parameters under study—, these are 25 minutes, 120 oC, and 15%— for cooking duration,temperature, sodium hyroxide concntration respectivey.Under ideal conditions, the pulp yield was 35%.The results of the study demonstrated that the sodium hydroxide concentration significantly affected the pulp production. At the lowest concentrations of 15% NaOH, the maximum yield was observed at 35%.From the work, three papers were produced to ascertain their mechanical characteristics. Amongst the three papers produced from the different yield obtained. Paper B, has the highest elongation and tensile strength at breaking load of 1.30mm and 42.10 kg/cm2 respectively compared to paper C which has an elongation at breaking load of 1.27mm and tensile strength at breaking load of 41.03 kg/cm2.Paper A thas the lowest elongation at breaking load of 1.25mm and a tensile strength at a breaking load of 40.93 kg/cm2 .
