Abstract

Deforestation remains a critical environmental issue, contributing to biodiversity loss and increased carbon emissions, particularly in tropical forests. This study aims to explore how the optimization of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) can reduce deforestation and support carbon emission mitigation targets. Using a library-based research method, data were collected from primary and secondary sources, including books, scientific journals, reports, and case studies related to NTFPs, deforestation reduction, and carbon management. Content analysis was employed to identify patterns, relationships, and insights across the literature. Findings indicate that sustainable NTFP utilization provides alternative livelihoods, encourages community participation in forest management, preserves forest cover, and maintains carbon stocks. NTFPs demonstrate the potential to harmonize ecological conservation with socio-economic development, provided that supportive policies, governance frameworks, and monitoring mechanisms are implemented. The study concludes that integrating NTFPs into forest management strategies offers a practical, scalable solution for achieving both deforestation reduction and carbon emission mitigation objectives.

Abstract

The potential for plastic waste and wood sawdust is currently experiencing a huge increase. The waste has the potential to greatly disturb the environment and play a role in increasing global warming. One of the results of processing wood and plastic waste is the manufacture of composite boards. This study aims to determine the influence of material composition and adhesive content on the properties of composite boards. The benefit of this research is to provide alternative utilization of plastic waste and sengon sawdust waste as raw materials for composite boards. This study used a randomized design complete with factorial experiments with Tukey's follow-up test. The factors used in the study were the composition of sengon powder material with plastic (90%: 10%, 80%: 20%, and 70%: 30%), and adhesive content (7%, 8%, and 9% of the weight of the material). The parameters studied are density, water absorption, thickness swelling, and compressive strength. The results showed that the material composition factor had a real effect on all parameters studied. The adhesive content factor has a significant effect on the thickness swelling and compressive strength. The average value of density is 0.451 – 0.551 g/cm3, water absorption is 80.760 – 118.101%, thickness swelling is 13.079 – 22.933%, and compressive thickness swelling is 21.598 – 25.004 kg/cm2. The resulting composite board complies with the required standards.
