Netherlands - Paper & packaging

Type of grass:

Nature and roadside grasses

Process:

Pre-treatment, digester and fermentation technologies

Products:

Packaging and high-quality paper

The Dutch demo site develops a process to extract fibres from roadside and nature grass to produce high-quality packaging and paper.

Firstly, partners of the Dutch demo site will optimise the technology of separating the liquid from the solid fraction. Then, they will develop a cleaning system, which will separate unwanted components from the harvested grass. The final grass-fibre used to fabricate the end products will be of such high quality, that an additional cleaning process, which would disturb the manufacturing process and produce additional costs, is not necessary.
