abstract: Waste materials are one of the major components of solid organic waste that pollutes land. Inappropriate disposal of municipal waste (solid) not only affects land but is also a source of danger to inhabitants. The management of residue from incineration is an integral part of waste disposal/management systems. This research provides a collection and bio-treatment technologies for various types of waste paper such as office paper and newspaper as feedstock using two microorganisms: Serratia and Rhizopus to convert them to reducing sugars. The percentages of reducing sugar present in the samples before, during and after hydrolysis were determined using the dinitrosalicylic (DNS) acid test method. The effect of temperature on the substrate was analyzed at 37, 40, and 45°C. This research shows that waste paper can be converted into useful materials.
