Waste from sugar cane, bagasse or bagasse contains cellulose which is the main raw material for making pulp. The lack of utilization of sugarcane bagasse makes sugarcane bagasse into a pile of garbage that pollutes the environment. This research aims to make pulp from sugarcane bagasse using NaOH as a cooking solution and H2O2. The research method was carried out by varying the cooking solution at 2%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 8%, and 10% NaOH concentrations at temperatures of 100oC, 110oC, 120oC, 130oC and 140oC, then proceed with calculating the percentage of yield and permanganate numbers . The highest percentage of yield is at a temperature of 140oC with a concentration of 2% NaOH, while the lowest permanganate number is at a temperature of 140oC with a concentration of 10% NaOH.
