Moringa Oleifera is common in the Philippines. It is called “Miracle
Vegetable”. Its bark can be used as a handmade paper. The problem that connects
in this project is “What will be the texture, cost/value and acceptance by the
consumer if recycled wood bark of Malunggay is used in making paper.” The answer
of hypothesis in the said problem is “We think that if recycled wood bark of
Malunggay is used in making paper, then its texture will be rough, it is cheap and it
will be acceptable by the consumer.” With this part, the prime objective of this
project is to enhance the knowledge and patience of the maker.
Background of the study
Papers are usually known by their large contribution for money, bank
note, cheque, voucher & tickets. Paper is basically a thin/thick material that is used
for writing. It is produced from cellulose pulp from wood, rags and grass. These
materials are then pressed together and are dried into flexible sheets. Like other
papers, it can be used for writing and printing, used in industrial and construction
processes such as paper mache, guilling, paper honeycomb, used for storing
information in the form of notebook, books, magazines, newspaper and also in
cleaning - In the form of paper towels, tissues, etc.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
What will be the texture, cost/value and acceptance by the consumer if
recycled wood bark of Malunggay is used in making paper?
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To find out does it produce the same as the commercial papers.
2. Is it easy to produce a paper by handmade product.
3. To find out does the wood bark of malunggay can be able to make a paper.
STATEMENT OF THE HYPOTHESIS
Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) is very useful and important to us. It
contains anti-biotic acid that can heal wounds, thus, that is why it is added and
mixed on medicines. That’s the basic reason why we used/recycled the wood barks
of the malunggay on making or own handmade paper.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The importance of this study is to produce paper by the use of the wood
barks of the Malunggay tree. On our environment, Malunggay can be seen anywhere.
It is acceptable in the market and it will be cheap if sold because the materials are not
expensive. It has relevance on life. Many people are looking for the best quality of
paper that has a low price. Lastly, it also helps lessen trees w/c has been cut down
nowadays.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This study is limited only in making paper using the wood barks of
Malunggay in producing handmade paper in a cheap & acceptable way for consumers.

Raw Materials:
500 grams of dried malunggay bark
125 grams chlorine
100 grams caustic soda
Other Materials:
 2 grams Venus Dye
 Mold and Deckle
 Silk Screen Cloth or Net Bag
 Weighing Scale
 Mortar and Scale
Procedures
I. Preparation of Materials
The barks of Malunggay stems are
removed. The outer skin was scraped off and
bark was stripped off from the inner wood.
Then the barks were sun-dried. The materials
were first prepared before the experiment.
Procedures
II. Boiling of Malunggay Barks
The dried barks were boiled in caustic soda and water for
2-3 hours. Then the barks were washed to remove chemicals. They
were then pounded to produce wood pulp.
Procedures
III. Bleaching and Dyeing of the Wood Pulp
The pulp produced in the process was bleachedusing chlorine. After
bleaching, it was washed toremove chemicals. The wood pulp was soaked
inwater for 5-15 minutes to make it whiter. Thenthe wood pulp was boiled
in dye and water forabout 15 minutes.
Procedures
IV. Molding and Drying of Wood Pulp
The dyed wood pulp can now be molded. Using
the mold and deckle, the wood pulp mixed with
water was molded. To dry the pulp, place it on an
even wall or screen to let it dry. When the pulp
has already dried, strip off the paper from the
wall.

In Experiment no. 1, the result of the wood barks were not so fine. The color of
the product is something dirty. The texture is rough.
In Experiment no.2, the result was change. The wood barks were fine enough. The
color of the product now is whiter than the previous one. The texture is smooth.
In Experiment no.3, the result was still the same except for the color. The color change due
to the dye (red) we put.
After producing the paper out of the Malunggay Bark, the researchers will ask somebody to
rate the tear strength, texture and acceptance of the paper.
