CHAPTER IV
This study aims to produce paper from discarded Bamboo sticks fibers. The samples of
the paper were then observed according to its color, texture, and odor. Color is observed visually,
texture and odor were observed through the sense of touch and smell respectively. The breaking
Table 4.1 shows the physical characteristics of the different samples of paper with
bamboo fiber in terms of color, texture and color. In Sample A, the color is brownish since it is
purely Bamboo fibers and it’s the natural color of Bamboo fibers. The sample is lightly smooth
since the fibers were blended properly. In Sample B, the color of the paper is yellowish since
waste paper was added with the same proportions as the fibers. The sample is rough because the
fibers were not blended properly. In Sample C and D, the color is off – white since the fibers
were blended and mixed properly with waste paper. In Sample E, the color was white since no
Bamboo fibers were added and was purely waste paper. The sample is smooth since there are no
fibers that can disturb its smoothness. The five samples have pleasant odor because Bamboo is
naturally pleasant in smell and there were no odor disturbing chemicals added.

Table 4.2 shows the general acceptability of the paper based on the respondents. In
Sample A, the respondents neither like nor dislike the product because of its color and
appearance. In Sample B, C and D, the respondents like it moderately because of their color and
texture. In sample E, the respondents like it very much since it is more accepted as paper because
of its white color and smoothness. Overall, Sample E is the most accepted product among the
different samples of paper and Sample A is the least accepted or likeable among the samples.

Table 4.3 shows the breaking strengths of different samples in three trials. Weights were
used in doing the experiment and then the breaking strength of the paper was calculated. It shows
that Sample E has the greatest breaking strength among the samples. Overall, the samples show
greater breaking strengths in different samples and can support different weights and so they
