Product Design Dissertation
In the recent years, usage of non-biodegradable materials and wastage of biodegradable wastes or residuals, that might have immense potential to be used as an alternative material or made use of, is spreading like wildfire. To develop environmentally sustainable products, especially in developing countries, the possibility of using some agricultural wastes and industrial by-products from different industries as raw materials will be highly desirable and has several practical and economic advantages. Fibres, shells, stems, roots, etc are few commonly disposed elements of biodegradable materials that are used for varied purposes around the world. The question of where these by-products end up has to be raised, and maybe utilized for more opportunities.
Oil Palm Shells (OPS) is one of the by-products that is obtained during the processing of Palm Oil. It is a form of agricultural solid waste in the tropical regimes. Oil Palm Shells are currently used as an ingredient in the processing of High strength Light weight cement concrete after it is burnt. This dissertation involves study of properties of OPS without burning, which in a small scale can contribute to the upliftment of Indonesian villages that are involved in Oil Palm cultivation. Properties of OPS when combined with resin , in different forms have been looked into.
The results show that the combination of OPS and resin in 2 different ratios , has a high drying rate, inflammable to a small extend, strong hence can be used to develop a small range of household products like coasters, candle holders, solid containers. The range can be widely expanded to products like chair seats etc with further study on its strength and durability.
