The traditional paper-making process uses wood as a raw material. However, problems such as deforestation have motivated the implementation of new resources, considering among them agricultural or agro-industrial waste. The present work is part of an academic experience, of the subject Mass Balance of the Chemical Engineering career where the banana (Musa paradisiaca) pinzote is used, which is a residue of the growing and trading of this fruit to obtain artisan paper. For this, a laboratory-scale process was established that consisted of five-unit operations: digestion, filtering, mixing, pressing, and drying. The methodology used was for the extraction of the cellulose fibers was pulping and by means of titration, the performance of the process was determined. The results obtained allowed to make the mass balance of the described process carried out, concluding that it is possible to use the banana (Musa paradisiaca) pinzote for the mentioned purpose and that it is also necessary to improve the working conditions of the pressing and drying stages to reduce the humidity of the product obtained, as this is a parameter of major importance in the quality of the paper.
