Nur Seri Aerisha Binti Abdullah Kolej Vokasional (Pertanian) Teluk Intan

The Aqueous-Soluble Upcycled Renewable Alternative (A.U.R.A) Wrap is a biodegradable and water-soluble floral wrapping paper developed as a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic wraps in the floristry industry. It aims to reduce dependency on petroleum-based materials by offering a functional, eco-friendly and educational solution. Made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) combined with upcycled banana peel powder and other natural additives, the A.U.R.A Wrap is safe for the environment and ideal for floral design. Its adoption promotes responsible consumption, aligns with SDG 12 and fosters a circular economy mindset among youth and vocational learners.
