Abstract : Efforts to combat food loss are being carried out around the world. In this study, we focused on the fibers of the skin and shells of discarded vegetables,fruits and beans; and examined how to make paper materials. Tensile tests and penetration tests were conducted on the fabricated paper materials. As a result, sunflower seeds, edamame (stem beans) and garlic showed similar properties to Japanese paper. In the future, it is intended to clarify other attributes of these paper materials, such as light transmission, breathability, and sensory characteristics, as well as to propose applications.
