N2 - The generation of waste from plastic wrappings used in the packaging of products of various types and activities progressively constitutes a problem of environmental contamination due to their non-biodegradable nature. In view of this reality, an investigation was carried out with the objective of producing paper with ecological characteristics by using the pineapple crown, which is one of the non-consumable parts of the fruit Ananas comosus, which becomes part of the organic waste that is discarded at a cost for its final disposal. In the process, 5 kg of Ananas comosus crown was used, testing three processes, the first: Ananas comosus crown pulp, Second: Ananas comosus crown bleached with NaClO, and third: Ananas comosus corone pulp bleached with H2O2. A yield of 26.6% of production of ecological paper was obtained with characteristics of grammage between 73.66 and 86.18 g/m2, thickness of 113 to 116 μm, whiteness of 22 to 59.2% photovlt, Resistance (tension 5760.2m, humidity between 7.84 to 9.18 %, cobb 164.7 to 424 g H2O/m2 and tear resistance between 9.96 to 13.16 mN-m2/g). The use and recovery of waste converted into paper for later use is an objective achieved within the concept of circular economy.
