Abstract

------May 19, 2023------(OCR) The process of producing plant pots from agricultural waste materials and related products involves crafting plant pots from agricultural waste materials such as coconut fiber, palm fiber, or burlap sacks using natural binders: latex and plant starch. The agricultural waste materials are mixed with the binder by spraying, dipping, or pouring the binder onto the waste materials, ensuring even coverage. The mixture is then baked or air-dried, and pressed into a pot mold using heat. After removal from the mold, excess material is trimmed, and further decoration and embellishment are added for aesthetic purposes. ------------ ------January 19, 2023------(OCR) Plant pots from agricultural waste materials: This involves crafting plant pots from agricultural waste materials such as coconut fiber, palm fiber, or burlap sacks using natural binders: latex and plant starch. Agricultural waste materials are mixed with a binder using a spraying, dipping, or pouring method. The binder should be thoroughly applied to the surface of the waste. The mixture is then baked or sun-dried, and then compressed into a pot mold using heat. After removal from the mold, excess material is trimmed, and further decoration and embellishment are added for aesthetic purposes. This invention involves creating plant pots from agricultural waste materials such as coconut fiber, palm fiber, or burlap. The binder used is natural rubber latex and plant starch, free from harmful chemicals. Once dry, the mixture of agricultural waste and binder is compressed into pots using heat in a mold at a temperature of 100-180 degrees Celsius. The resulting pots have a thickness of approximately 1-10 millimeters, depending on the amount of agricultural waste and the mold used. These pots can be used for planting seedlings, flowers, and ornamental plants, both indoors and outdoors. They can also be used for decoration or as containers for other items, depending on the mold design. The process and benefits of this invention are numerous. In the commercial sector, agriculture adds value to agricultural waste materials can generate income for communities and SMEs, as well as provide environmentally friendly alternative products.

------19/05/2566------(OCR) 1. The process of producing plant pots from agricultural waste materials and related products consists of the following steps: a. Prepare agricultural waste materials, which can be selected from coconut fiber, palm fiber, or burlap. For coconut fiber or palm fiber, select fibers with a length of 2-40 centimeters and arrange them to the desired size and thickness. Burlap is cut to the desired size. b. Binding agent consisting of 14-50% by weight of latex (high ammonia type, concentration 55-63%), 0.1-10% by weight of plant starch (tapioca starch, corn starch, rice starch, glutinous rice starch, wheat starch, or arrowroot starch), and 40-85% by weight of water. c. Mix the agricultural waste materials with the binding agent by spraying, immersing the waste materials in the binding agent, or pouring the binding agent onto the agricultural waste materials. Or pour the binder evenly over the surface of the agricultural waste material. d. Bake at a temperature of 40-100 degrees Celsius for 1-3 hours or sun-dry for 3-5 hours. e. Press the mixture into the pot mold at a pressure of 50-90 kilograms per square centimeter at a temperature of 90-180 degrees Celsius for 0.5-5 minutes. f. Remove the pressed pot from the mold and trim off the excess edges. g. Trim the excess edges or add further decorations for aesthetic purposes. ------------ ------19/01/2023------(OCR) 1.

The binder consists of 14-50% by weight of latex (high ammonia content, 55-63%), 0.1-10% by weight of plant-based starch (tapioca, corn, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, or arrowroot starch), and 40-85% by weight of water. c. Mix the agricultural waste materials with the binder by spraying, dipping the waste materials in the binder, or pouring the binder onto the agricultural waste materials, ensuring the binder covers the entire surface. d. Bake at 40-100 degrees Celsius for 1-3 hours or sun-dry for 3-5 hours. e. Press the mixture into the pot molds at a pressure of 50-90 kg/cm² at a temperature of 90-180 degrees Celsius for 0.5-5 minutes. f. Remove the pressed pots from the molds and trim off any excess. g. Trim excess edges or add further embellishments for aesthetic purposes. 1.
