Benefit of Paper, Cotton and Tissue paper Wastes on Growth and Germination of Monggo Beans

(Vigna Radiata)
Abstract
The main objective of the study is to determine the benefit of paper, cotton and tissue paper wastes on growth and germination of monggo beans (Vigna Radiata). Nowadays, the waste around us is currently increasing that we can’t cope up with it and that we should be doing something about it. Specifically, the purpose of the study is to minimize the waste problem by using paper, cotton, and tissue as
growth and germination enhancer for monggo beans.
It aims only in determining if there is a significant difference in the seed germination between the paper waste, cotton waste, tissue paper waste and soil. It also aims in determining if there is a significant difference in the number of leaves that sprouted between the paper waste, cotton waste and tissue paper waste and soil.
The researcher used 15 monggo seeds, paper, cotton and tissue paper wastes, plastic cups, spray bottle, cutter or scissors, bowl and water.

Background of the Study

The waste around us is currently increasing that we can’t cope up with it. Wastes like paper, cotton, and tissues. According to The World Counts, from 2010 to 2060, the worldwide utilization of paper is
expected to double. A similar state will happen to paper waste. An expanded paper production will also add further to the weight the world's forests that are as of now in a critical state - and continually
deteriorating. From 2001 to 2019, a sum of 386 million hectares of woodland were lost all around the world (in all backwoods types consolidated). This loss represents around 10 % decrease in tree
cover since 2000. Creating 42 million tons of tissues require 712 million trees 1,165 million tons of water 78 million tons of oil.
Wasting paper, cotton, and tissue paper may greatly affect our mother nature or surroundings as it is considered as pollution. As the paper originates from trees, we must use paper properly. The same
goes for tissues as it is also paper, each time you use tissue, only use the right amount. As for cotton, don't use too much of it if not necessary and you can always separate it to spare some more.
All seeds require water, oxygen, the correct temperature and cellulose to develop. A paper-based item commonly contains 90–99% cellulose fibers which are the essential basic component and the most
significant part impacting end use properties.
Cotton has cellulose, water, phosphorous, calcium, and different proteins and natural issue that is needed for plant development (Amash, M., 2010).
According to Van Beek, paper towels, filter paper or even newspaper provides an excellent medium for germinating seeds. They are pathogen-free and make it easy to control the moisture content for
proper germination. Toilet paper is an effective material for germinating seeds. It works almost just as paper towels yet the main issue is that it can tear easily. When utilizing toilet paper, you should
utilize a couple of sheets to stay away from this issue.
The purpose of the study is to minimize the waste problem by using paper, cotton, and tissue as growth and germination enhancer for monggo beans.
