    Okra Mucilage As Adhesive in Paper Recycling

    Saibor Lynn
    This project aims to use okra mucilage as an adhesive to recycle paper. The researchers will slice okra to extract its thick, gluey mucilage then blend it with shredded used paper pulp. They will spread the mixture on a screen and let it dry in the sun to produce a rough, brown recycled paper. This investigatory project helps diminish pollution through an easy and affordable way to recycle paper using natural okra mucilage.

    Okra Mucilage as Adhesive

    in Paper Recycling
    An Investigatory Project

    Nathalie D. Pinero
    Pearly Queen B. Ash
    Kyle Peter Josh B. Deluvio

    Rationale of the Project


    This investigatory project aims to use the
    mucilage as an adhesive in order to recycle
    paper. Mucilage, as researched, refers to the
    thick, gluey, glutinous substance produced
    nearly by all plants but is abundantly found
    in some, like in the Okra plant. In this
    project, the researchers will be able to
    recycle paper as a way of helping the
    community diminish pollution that are partly
    caused by papers. This is also an easy and
    affordable way of recycling papers.

    Methods
    1.) Gather all the materials needed.
    -

    Okra
    Used papers
    Water
    Blender
    Screen
    Containers
    Knives
    Slicing Platform
    Cloth(Strainer)
    Cooking
    Container

    Methods

    2.) Prepare the okra and used


    papers.

    *Note: Their preparation could be


    done simultaneously to save time.

    Methods
    * For used papers
    a.) Shred the used
    papers into bits
    and put it into a
    basin of water. The
    water should only
    be enough to soak
    the paper bits.

    Methods
    b.) Soak the paper
    bits thoroughly
    into the water. Mix
    it until it becomes
    pulpy. Squeeze
    out the water from
    the paper pulps
    and set it aside in
    a clean container.

    Methods
    *For okra mucilage
    a.) Slice the okra.
    b.) Boil the sliced
    okra until it has
    produced enough
    mucilage.

    Methods
    c.) Place the boiled
    okra in a piece of
    cloth(it serves as
    the strainer).
    Squeeze out the
    mucilage and put
    it in a clean
    container.

    Methods
    3.) Pour the mucilage
    in the blender and
    blend it there for a
    minute.
    4.) Then add the
    paper pulps into
    the blended
    mucilage. Mix it
    well.

    Methods
    5.) Spread the
    mixture into a flat
    screen and flatten
    it out.
    6.) Let it dry under
    the sun for a few
    days.

    Limitations
    This investigatory project only
    focuses on the use of mucilage of
    okra as adhesive in recycling paper.
    The strength, flexibility, and other
    qualities of the paper produced are
    not included.

    Results
    The results
    show a rough
    and brownish
    colored
    recycled paper
    which can be
    used as card or
    any other way
    you want.

    Implications
    The investigatory project on
    recycling paper using okra
    mucilage will help diminish
    pollution by having an easy and
    affordable way of paper
    recycling.
