Abstract	This study deals with production of pulp and paper from waste banana pseudo stem and comparison with recycled pulp used for paper making. Banana pseudo stem was collected from local market of Nagpur and pulped at 120 ̊C and atmospheric pressure. The pulp was reacted with peroxide to obtain bleached pulp by keeping in a thermostatically controlled water bath. The kappa number after bleaching was observed as 20.43 respectively. Beating of pulp was done in standard lab beater. Sheets were prepared by using pulp in different blending ratios. Burst factor for sheet prepared from virgin banana stem was observed as 30.04, higher than the sheet prepared from recycled pulp which showed burst factor of 18.84. Blending of banana pulp with recycled pulp (50%:50%) showed burst factor of 40.57, which was quite impressive. Keywords— Banana pseudo stem, Paper, Pulp, Bursting strength, Recycled pulp
