Abstract This study focuses on the design and manufacturing of eco-friendly composite panels using rice husk, coconut coir, and sawdust. The project begins with careful material selection to ensure the panels' mechanical strength, thermal insulation, and environmental sustainability. Locally sourced materials, including rice husk, coconut coir, and sawdust, are processed by cleaning, drying, and grinding to optimize their properties for the final product. The panels are formed by blending these materials with eco-friendly binders, such as polyester resin, and applying heat and pressure to enhance bonding and dimensional stability. A precisely constructed wooden mold is used to maintain uniform panel dimensions, and the panels are then trimmed and finished to meet aesthetic and functional requirements. Rigorous quality assessment is conducted to evaluate the panels' physical properties, including density, moisture resistance and thermal insulation. The use of agricultural and industrial waste in this process not only reduces environmental impact but also provides a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials, demonstrating the potential for eco-friendly panels in various applications.
