The combination of bamboo material and used newspaper is an idea to increase innovation and product creation for Small Medium Enterprises in the Sleman Regency. Bamboo as a natural and local material is widely used by Indonesians for various needs, especially for traditional crafts and furniture. Bamboo processing skills have been traditionally developed in the areas where bamboo plants are plentiful, particularly in some villages in Sleman Regency. Bamboo furniture design development plays an important role in increasing competitiveness among the craft centers in Sleman Regency. Therefore, this study aims to develop bamboo furniture designs with a combination of used newsprint material. The used newsprints were chosen due to recycled material application. It is processed using the roll technique in this combination material. This research applies the generic product method and explains the iterative design process of bamboo and newspaper easy chair design. It also produces three bamboo easy chairs prototypes that apply a knock-down concept and a flat package. Through the third stage of prototyping, the bamboo chair design can achieve a volume weight of 26.4 kg (actual weights 5.8 kg) with 5 modules and 10 nuts and bolts. Additionally, the combination of bamboo and newspaper is also considered as added value for sustainable bamboo furniture. Besides utilizing recycled materials, this easy chair design also supports the ease of shipping products to adapt to online sales trends during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wood is used as a raw material in various industries, including the production of furniture, which puts pressure on the exploitation of the forests and the continuous reduction of their surfaces, with undesirable effects on the environment. The paper provides a way of sustainably manufacturing furniture by replacing wood with composite materials based on natural fibers obtained from fast-growing renewable crops (hemp, willow, flax, etc.) and at the same time a method of assessing the forest areas which can be saved from cutting. The method’s algorithm is based on the estimation of forest area that ensures the annual consumption of wood for the production of furniture, both in the conventional production of furniture and in the unconventional one, where part of the products is made of composites. The agricultural areas required to be cultivated with technical plants to provide the natural fibers necessary for the wood replacement composite were also determined. The case study, based on the data of an upholstered furniture company, shows that replacing only part of the wood for the production of furniture can save about 3000 hectares of beech forests per year and the necessary plant fibers can be obtained from a surface area about 10 to 100 times smaller.

“…The combination of different possible reinforcements and matrices provides composite materials with a wide range of properties that are suitable for their end use (chairs, stools, tables, shelves, cupboards, sofa frames, racks, etc.). Composite materials for furniture applications have been obtained using different reinforcement fibers, both natural and synthetic, such as carbon [5], glass [6], hemp [7][8][9], flax [10], jute [11], kenaf [12], coir [13][14][15], oil palm [16,17], banana [18], and wood [19][20][21]. Nowadays, carbon and fiberglass reinforcements are increasingly being replaced by natural fibers that make composite materials environmentally friendly [22][23][24][25], sustainable [26][27][28][29], lightweight [30][31][32], and affordable [33][34][35][36], in addition to providing good mechanical properties [37][38][39][40].…”

Waste recycling is a solution that reduces the environmental impact of waste landfilling or incineration. The aim of this paper is to investigate both the effect of incorporating recycled fibers obtained by defibrating 50/50 hemp/rPP nonwoven waste and the effect of the compatibilizer on the properties of composite materials. Composites incorporating 50% and 100% recycled fibers were treated with 2.5% and 5% maleated polypropylene (MAPP), respectively, and compared to both the untreated composites and the composite obtained by thermoforming from the nonwovens that generated the waste. The incorporation of 50% and 100% recycled fibers into composites decreased the tensile strength by 17.1–22.6%, the elongation at break by 12.4–20.1%, the flexural strength by 6.6–9%, and flexural modulus by 10.3–37%. The addition of 5% MAPP showed the greatest improvements in mechanical properties of composites containing 100% recycled fibers, as follows: 19.2% increase in tensile strength, 3.8% increase in flexural strength, and 14.8% increase in flexural modulus. Thermal analysis established that at temperatures ranging between 20 °C and 120 °C, the composites were thermally stable. SEM analysis revealed good coverage of the reinforcing fibers, and EDX analysis confirmed the presence of the compatibilizing agent in the structure of the composite material.
