Description
Summary:This study promotes the utilization of novel substances for repurposing orange peel waste as a component in vegan leather production. The results indicate that the test specimen that utilizes Pomelo dressing as reinforcement has the most pronounced influence. The tensile test value for grapefruit with dressing as reinforcement is around 472 N/cm2. It exhibits an elongation value of approximately 67.28 %, the greatest among sweet oranges using dressing as reinforcement. Additionally, the tear resistance of grapefruit with dressing as reinforcement is approximately 14.28 N/cm2. These findings show that recycling organic orange peel waste as vegan leather material has the potential for further development. This article could be the basis for creating environmentally friendly materials and advancing the fake leather industry.
