Company Background
The Papyrus Technology meets all of the criteria of an environmentally sustainable
manufacturing process:
- No deforestation or requirement for additional forest plantations to be
created.
- The fibre source is the banana trunk, a by-product of fruit production
and a currently unutilised fibre source.
- Low carbon emission technology due to low power requirements.
- Production occurs within the banana plantation, minimising costs of transport
and energy consumption.
- No requirement for pulping, negating the use of chemicals and minimising
energy consumption.
- No effluent or landfill produced from the manufacturing process.
- No methane or oxides of nitrogen are produced or emitted as a consequence
of manufacturing.
- The Papyrus products are directly substitutable for common paper and timber
products with minimal environmental impact.
It may be that this technology is the only fully sustainable paper making
technology currently available in the paper industry. Given that the process
is based on a renewable source of an otherwise unutilised material, there is
no contribution to the destruction of natural forests or purpose planted plantations..
