| dcterms.description | A method of making paper out of sugar-cane waste and banana stems has been developed by researchers at Japan's National Chemical Laboratory for Industries.
The new process has environmental as well as economic advantages. Conventional paper-making processes, in which wood pulp and other materials are boiled together in sodium sulphide and sodium hydroxide and then bleached in chloride, generate highly pollutant wastes. For most materials, this method dispenses with bleaching and the low cost of processing makes small-scale production viable. It has obvious income potential for tropical farmers who currently burn many agrowaste products.
The laboratory, run by Japan's Ministry of Inter national Trade and Industry, plans to set up a commercial paper-manufacturing plant in collaboration with a private firm.
