| Abstract: | The steps involved in converting caddies into handmade paper by an easily adaptable process are outlined and the physical and mechanical properties of handmade paper are evaluated. The hand-made paper is suitable for making eco-friendly paper bags for grocery and shopping which could largely replace the non-biodegradable plastic (LDPE) carry-bags, a cause of ecological and environmental pollution in our habitat. |
