Carbon Neutral Banana-based Paper
Papyrus
Australia Ltd. has developed a unique papermaking method converting
banana tree trunks into paper using minimal energy when compared with
traditional pulp-based processes. The company’s patented Papyrus
process uses no chemicals and water is a by-product of the
manufacturing.The company is undertaking a life cycle analysis
including an evaluation of the impact of removing the waste trunks from
banana farms. “The existing paper industry has a large environmental
and carbon footprint. The Papyrus process offers the industry a timely
and practical solution to reducing this footprint without a massive
investment in new technology,” says Papyrus chairman Dr David Wyatt.
