Fishpond Moss (Bryophyta) as Decorative Eco Paper

Xiander Domider

Abstract

Most companies, institutions and offices often use decorative papers as bulletin sheet, evaluation. crafts and demonstrations. but these advertised decorative papers made up of tree fibers that is decreasing in number. Out of curiosity, the researchers made an organic solution which is decorative eco paper made up of fishpond mosses (Bryopheta) without using any chemicals. The researchers thought of a good substitute to wood fibers for a good solution to limit the damage in nature, to help minimize the cutting of trees for production and to determine the result of using fishpond moss as the raw material in the production of paper.

This study predominantly targets to regard economic and environmental issues with the use of fishpond moss fiber in the production of decorative paper and to increase the surpass of non-wood fibers. Specifically, to determine the feasibility and the physical properties such as tensile strength, texture, and its effectiveness of fishpond moss (Bryopheta) as decorative eco paper.

This study aims to contribute an indigenous way of making an Eco board and is significance to Students and school to help our society amidst of deforestation, in the society to help the sectors of the society with the use of fishpond moss fibers in decorative paper production, to reduce deforestation, in fishpond farmers. It helps them to keep away the polluted mosses so that new mosses will grow. In Paper Industry, this could contribute to paper industries for them to substitute the wood fibers for paper crafting. It is also significant to the environment and will be highly benefited because trees have vital function in our environment.

Background

Presently, people, especially teachers, students, workers, usually use decorative papers
in their beatification of their outputs, for their projects, and some are for their crafts, but instead
of buying commercial decorative paper with such expenses, the researchers used fishpond moss
(Bryophyta) as decorative eco paper with less expense and highly contributes in lessening of
cutting down trees used for decorative papers, also, making fishpond polluted moss useful as it
useless in fishponds.

Fish ponds often be filled with mosses, it is one of the major sources of food among
fishes and other organisms present. Mosses is a great source of fiber, when it is polluted, dark,
it is not needed in some fishponds. When it dries, it turns brown and a result, fiber. In that
matter, fishpond moss contains organic fiber which can be used as decorative eco paper. The
researchers conclude that moss is efficient because of its availability anywhere in the world,
and it can make as a minor substitution in the production of fibers amidst paper.

Mosses have spread all around the world and are found in wet environments such
as rainforests, wetlands and alpine ecosystems. They are also common in urban areas with
a wet climate and often establish on driveways, sidewalks, brick walls and other man-made
structures. Mosses require water to reproduce which is why they struggle to survive in drier
climates. Humans have also utilized mosses for a number of reasons. Traditionally, moss has
been used for packing food, helping to insulate houses, and peat formed from semi-decomposed
Sphagnum moss was used as a fuel in the Northern Hemisphere. More recently, mosses have
been used in the florist trade.

Eco-friendly paper, is exactly what its name implies: A greener version of traditional
paper, with a smaller carbon footprint and overall environmental impact. There are two main
kinds of eco-friendly paper.
