A. Product Description
The proponents decided to make packaging paper made out of water lily fibers for their research paper. The raw materials needed are only water lily fibers and no other chemicals are necessary. The paper is 100% natural and is eco-friendly which is becoming a trend in the European perspective for products. Research shows that water lily is very abundant in tropical countries such as the Philippines and grow all year round. The proponents has chosen water lily for the main reasons that, it serves as an alternative in producing paper, and water lily is considered as “trash” in the waters of our ecosystem. The difference between the water lily based paper and regular packaging paper is that it is thicker in size which tends to be more durable especially for fragile objects.
There also has been numerous reports stating the abundancy and water lily cultivation in vast areas in the Philippines particularly Calamba, San Pablo, Laguna de Bay and Lumban. No exact figures were found to indicate the volume of water lily produced but studies show that 10 plants of water lily under normal conditions can produce a rough estimate of 650,000 offspring which weighs around 65,000 kg in eight months. The proponents decided to come up with an alternative plan on cultivating their own water lily in case of a shortage of supply by the said cultivation areas given earlier.

1 Roll = 450 meters which weighs 151kg
Each roll is placed on a pallet for transportation purposes and each pallet can carry up to 4 rolls.
A standard 40” x 48” (1.01 x 1.22m) pallet weighs between 15 - 17 lbs (6.8 – 7.7kg), can be custom designed in size
