Sawdust is a waste that have a lot of potential that can be explored and can be used to feed humans needs nowadays. Moreover it can be found abundantly at sawmill with low price Sawdust has a potential to be used as a material for construction, can be used to make furniture and many more. In order reveal the potential of sawdust, this research project will investigate about the characteristic of sawdust, application of sawdust and how to improve the mechanical properties of sawdust. As for this research paper, chapter 1 will give introduction on the background of the project. Problem statement of this project will be explained to enlighten the main objective and the advantages of conducting this project. Besides, the objectives and the scope of the study will also be presented, After that we will proceed to the second chapter which contain the idea and concept of this project in details to make sure the significance o =f this project will be deliver. This chapter will be explaining about the sawdust, Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) and Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Sawdust Composites. In order to understand how this project are carried on, this research project also include the research methodology, the experimental approach ,procedures as well as key milestone to cover the whole journey of this experiment. Finally in the last chapter, all result and discussions, calculations and recommendation will conclude everything that have been achieved while doing this project.
