Description
Summary:n agricultural sector, there is an environment and technical issue during disposal process of agro waste a/ler harvesting. Regarding to environmental and sustainability awareness, concerns on the long term effect of burning crop waste have been expressed including pineapple leaves burning. Responding to this emerging issue, there are emphases on transformation of crop waste to wealth in order to create a sustainable agriculture industry. This work presented the new technology invented named Pineapple Leaf Fibre Machine 1 (PALF MI) for pineapple leaf fibres (PALF) productions. Effects of extractions method and surface treatments towards PALF's properties are evaluated. The findings of this study confirmed that PALF MI increased PALF's productions rate by 8 times and minimize pineapple leaves waste up to 80% compared to traditional method (hand scrapping). From the experimental results, PALF Ml yield fibre with diameter of 75.7
