        abstract = {In Our Country India, the major cause of wastage is of occupying the waste of used Diapers & Solid papers. From a long period we are usually recycling them to make an Eco- friendly environment. But we should also be noted that Recycling takes high upfront capital costs & products from recycled waste are not much durable. The energy consumption is more and with effect the pollution is illimitable. So can we replace this process by an idea that we can use the same waste products and reform these to a new solid product which is having different physical properties as from the original materials. Yes, and we generated an idea of. Upcycling the same waste papers and Napkins into wooden based products. Since the wooden products are having much demand in the market for our construction and aesthetic purposes but on the other side due to continuous deforestation, the supply is Very low & much costly. Hence the Upcycling process can serve a much rising demand of wooden products & ultimately can serve the environment towards a sustainable journey by saving the intimated culture of deforestation. The Upcycling process of waste papers & Napkins does not demand much initial maintenance cost and is feasible to any labor. With such a benefit this process can give a much needed employment to the youth and can be a part of Make in India Initiative.},
