(Cocos nucifera) as raw materials for

bio-wood. This study aims to address

environmental sustainability, waste

management, and deforestation by

developing a sustainable alternative to

conventional wood. We hope to

determine the feasibility, durability,

and eco-friendliness of bio-wood

derived from these agricultural by-

products through material analysis,

processing techniques, and testing.

This research will help to protect the

environment and promote healthier
