RECYCLING
AGRICULTURAL WASTE - AGRO FIBER |
Responses to the deforestation environmental concerns and constraints have included in the recent years farming fast growing trees or fiber crops and wood or paper recycling, but the major supply source in the next decades is expected to come from agricultural cellulosic residue. It is estimated that the quantity of economically and environmentally recoverable waste fibers available each year exceeds the fiber contained in the wood used for all purposes.
Until recently, these fibers have been thrown away or burned. But rising disposal costs and bans on burning of crop residues have created the premises to convert the waste fibers into pulp, paper, and construction materials. Environmental regulations have not only decreased the supply of available wood; they are increasing the supply of available waste vegetable fibers.
The new Enelin technology allows for the wide utilization of the ligno-cellulosic content of the stalk particles of agricultural wastes from practically any crop like: wheat straw, soybean, corn, kenaf, hemp, rice straw, flax, milkweed, nut shells, seed grass straw, sunflower, cotton, vine, etc. as a substitute of wood and particle board materials, as raw materials for a large range of construction materials.
