    Eco-Friendly Particleboards Produced with Banana Tree (Musa paradisiaca) Pseudostem Fibers Bonded with Cassava Starch and Urea-Formaldehyde Adhesives

    Prosper Mensah1, Rafael Rodolfo de Melo2, Edgley Alves de Oliveira Paula2, Alexandre Santos Pimenta3, Juliana de Moura2, Fernando Rusch2,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.13, No.7, pp. 1475-1489, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2025.02025-0047 - 22 July 2025

    Abstract The increase in wood and wood-based products in the construction and furniture sectors has grown exponentially, generating severe environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Particleboard panels have been the main cost-benefit option on the market due to their lightness and lower cost compared to solid wood. However, the synthetic adhesives used in producing traditional particleboard panels cause serious harm to human health. Developing particleboard panels with fibrous waste and natural adhesives could be a sustainable alternative for these sectors. The work aimed to create particleboards with fibrous wastes from the pseudostem of the banana tree (Musa paradisiaca) and… More > Graphic Abstract

    Optimizing Household Wastes (Rice, Vegetables, and Fruit) as an Environmentally Friendly Electricity Generator

    Deni Ainur Rokhim1,2, Isma Yanti Vitarisma1, Sumari Sumari1,*, Yudhi Utomo1, Muhammad Roy Asrori1

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.2, pp. 275-284, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.043419 - 11 March 2024

    Abstract The high consumption of electricity and issues related to fossil energy have triggered an increase in energy prices and the scarcity of fossil resources. Consequently, many researchers are seeking alternative energy sources. One potential technology, the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) based on rice, vegetable, and fruit wastes, can convert chemical energy into electrical energy. This study aims to determine the potency of rice, vegetable, and fruit waste assisted by Cu/Mg electrodes as a generator of electricity. The method used was a laboratory experiment, including the following steps: electrode preparation, waste sample preparation, incubation of the… More >
