  • Abstract: This project focuses on turning coconut husk waste into a useful and eco-friendly cutting board called cocoboard. Using coconut fiber, glue, and water, the team compressed and dried the material into a solid board. They tested its strength, durability, and resistance to cutting and water exposure. Results showed that cocoboard can withstand repeated cutting and maintain its structure, making it suitable for kitchen use. The project also addresses concerns about microplastics from plastic cutting boards, offering a safer alternative. By reusing agricultural waste, the project reduces environmental impact and promotes sustainable materials. It supports SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption) and SDG 15 (Life on Land), demonstrating how natural resources can be transformed into practical, eco-friendly products.
