Ikr? Like c'mon someone smart enough (not me) could develop a way to make this on a much bigger scale and market it as aviable and "greener" option to make papers.
wtf are you talking about? the reason deforestation exist is to use the land where the trees used to be, mainly for producing food. the only viable way to do that is castration in poor countries. besides paper actually acumulates carbon outside of the atmosphere. using (saving, not trowing away) wood or paper is actually good for the enviroment. deforestation is only bad when not replaced by new trees
@@johndawson6057 That have. It is called using 1 tree to make thousands and thousands of sheets of better paper. You think using grass is "greener"? Think of the fuel, and electricity, and time, and shipping, and all the equipment involved in transporting and processing that much grass vs 1 tree. There's being innovative, and then there is just being naïve and ignorant.
This was literally what i was thinking of because we made paper from grass clippings before but we did use some chemical (i think it was bleach to whiten the paper). And now im frustrated knowing this and watching her fail to create a writing medium. Actually it frustrates me more knowing that she could invent paper and a printing press which would solve the whole lack of books.
Hi, this is really lovely. How many days did it take to dry - was it left to dry naturally or did you have a fan blowing at it? Thank you for any help.
I soaked it over night and boiled it for about 5 hours. Just make sure to cut the grass into short pieces before! Otherwise it will get stuck in the blender.
Just everything that has cellulose in its structure will be a good choice. Of course, some parts of plants are more suited to become paper, some are less. Some species of plants are better suited for becoming a sheet of paper, some are not. My advice? Improvise, read about it through the internet, try different plants in different conditions ;)
I don't know… just grass that I found. You could experiment with different sorts of plants and explore how their fibres affect the quality of the paper!
You can use all sorts of plant fibres. They have different properties, for instance the length of the fibres or chemical properties. This makes some better suitable for paper than others. I am not an expert here, so I would recommend to explore traditional paper manufacturing to learn more. And yes, in my case it took hours of boiling to break down the fibres so I could use them. But be creative and I am sure you will find other more elegant ways!
Did you put anything on the mixture for it to be able to hold all fiber and as a result it will not break... We're also making paper out of cow manure fiber for our investigatory project... Thanks a lot in advance
Hey im from sri lanka recently we can s ee our country glyceria maxima plant everywhere actually its become huge problem can we use it for make papers if you are interested this please contact me dhanushherath@gmail.con
You're not even explaining what you're doing I have no idea how long you boiled this how much water you've used how much time it took you don't explain nothing
