The study focuses on the local regions of Eloor East and Kuttikattukara, examining the role of paper production, consumption, and disposal in contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. The research explores potential eco-friendly alternatives by analyzing cellulose sources from food waste such as peels and shells. Mechanical pulping methods and environmentally safer bleaching techniques were reviewed to identify sustainable paper alternatives. The project also aims to raise awareness among local citizens about the environmental consequences of excessive paper consumption.", "keywords": [ "Paper Carbon Footprint", "Sustainability", "Paper Industry", "Environmental Impact", "Cellulose Fibers", "Recycling", "Climate Change" ], "language": "eng", "license": "cc-by-4.0", "notes": "Academic guidance for this research was provided by Mrs. Priya P.V., Mrs. Remya Joseph, and Dr. Jeswin Joseph.
