NL18-GO_GRASS/GOGRS

Paper & packaging from nature and roadside grass

Description

This technology extracts fibres from roadside and natural grass to produce high-quality packaging and paper

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Low quality natural and roadside grass are used for low added value applications such as compost which also includes costs associated with disposal. Meanwhile, to produce paper conventioanally trees need to be grown over years and then cut down.

Objective

To develop a process to extract fibres fromroadside and natural grass in order to produce highquality packaging and paper to generate value and revenue for farmers, landowners and regional governments
