  • Abstract: This project explores how common waste materials like cardboard, paper, and sawdust can be recycled into eco-friendly briquettes. Instead of discarding these materials, they are processed into a renewable biomass fuel that can serve as an alternative to wood or charcoal. The team created briquettes by soaking, blending, mixing, molding, and drying the materials. Testing showed that a 9g briquette burned steadily for 16–18 minutes with moderate smoke and could heat water up to approximately 80°C. The results demonstrate that such briquettes are effective, low-cost, and sustainable energy sources. This project supports environmental goals by reducing waste and promoting cleaner energy solutions, aligning with SDGs on affordable energy, responsible consumption, and environmental protection.
