Abstract: Handmade paper making, an ancient craft, holds significant promise for a sustainable future. It utilizes diverse cellulosic materials, including recycled paper, agricultural residues like banana fibres, ankara fibres, corn husks, hemp, etc and even invasive aquatic plants like water hyacinth, water lettuce and animal residues like cow dung, elephant dung and linen fibres. These alternatives address the environmental burden of conventional paper production, which relies heavily on deforestation and pollution-intensive processes. Studies have demonstrated the viability of various non-wood sources, showcasing their suitability for producing handmade paper with acceptable strength and quality. Compared to machine-made paper, handmade production significantly reduces water and energy consumption, along with air and water pollution. It supports environmental sustainability by using recycled and renewable resources, minimizing waste, and reducing the reliance on forests. Economically, it creates employment, particularly in rural communities, fostering entrepreneurship and preserving traditional skills. Culturally, it safeguards heritage by continuing age-old paper-making techniques. Socially, it can empower marginalized groups and contribute to their livelihoods. The growing demand for eco-friendly products creates market opportunities for handmade paper, which can be crafted into a wide array of items, from stationery to decorative pieces. The growing demand for handmade paper highlights the need to explore a wide range of sustainable raw material sources. To unlock the full potential of this eco-friendly and culturally significant industry, it is essential to raise public and governmental awareness of its value. Strategic support—through policy initiatives, skill development programs, and improved access to resources—will play a key role in driving the industry's growth. By addressing these critical areas, the handmade paper sector can evolve into a thriving model of sustainable development and heritage preservation.
