THE STUDY OF COCONUT MEAL FOR VASE DESIGN

Abstract

Coconut Waste Study Project for Vase Design The objectives are as follows: 1 ) To study
and test the properties of coconut meal in molding; 2) To experiment with processing coconut
waste as a design material; 3 ) To design flower vase products from coconut meal. There are
three steps to conducting the research: Step 1 : Study of information about coconut meal;
creating new materials by studying various sources such as books, research articles, theses,
journals, and online media. Step 2: Process materials from coconut meal; and Step 3: Design a
flower vase from coconut meal.
The results of processing coconut pulp for flower vase design showed that liquid latex
rubber can be used as a binder for coconut meal, which allows coconut meal to be harmonized
with each other with a mixture ratio of 7 0 % coconut to 3 0 % liquid latex rubber by weight,
which will give the resulting product elastic properties. The resulting product is a value-added
creation from waste materials and can also be a way to reduce the amount of coconut waste in
the industry.
