Menjana Pendapatan Lumayan dari Hasil Sisa Daun Nanas
Pada 19 & 20 Oktober 2022 telah berlangsung “Bengkel Pemprosesan Sisa Daun Nanas kepada Kertas dan Tekstil” bertempat di Fakulti Sains Komputer dan Teknologi Maklumat, UNIMAS dibawah Dana Lestari kelolaan Pusat Kelestarian Universiti UNIMAS. Seramai 25 peserta terdiri dari pada pelajar, pensyarah dan wakil komuniti telah hadir ke bengkel tersebut. Di dalam bengkel ini, para peserta telah diajar secara teori dan praktikal pembuatan kertas dan tekstil dari sisa daun nanas. Penceramah telah didatangkan khas dari pemain industri berpengalaman dari Johor bagi menyampaikan ilmu berkaitan bengkel.
Sarawak merupakan antara negeri terbesar yang menghasilkan nanas dari segi pengeluaran dan keluasan kawasan tanaman. Namun, industri nanas merupakan industri yang banyak mengeluarkan sisa sama ada selepas penuaian ataupun pemprosesan. Sisa selepas penuaian nanas termasuk daun, jambul, tangkai, batang, dan sulur tanah. Pada kebiasaannya sisa-sisa ini mengambil masa yang agak panjang untuk reput dan diserapkan semula untuk penanaman seterusnya. Sekiranya sisa-sisa ini dibiarkan sahaja pada kawasan penanaman, ia akan menarik mahluk perosak yang memudaratkan kesihatan di samping meningkatkan kemungkinan datangnya pelbagai penyakit-penyakit berbahaya. Pada kebiasaanya peladang nanas di Sarawak akan mengambil jalan mudah dan membakar sisa ini. Malangnya, perbuatan ini menyumbang kepada pencemaran udara dan ...
