Ecological composite with the fiber from the leaf of grass

Abstract

Trees and lawns are present in various environments, although very little is made of its leaves and the pruning product. The leaves of grass, after being cut, are no exception – they are treated as vegetable residue. The aim of this project is to experiment with the fiber, employing the methodology used to in the making of artisanal paper, in order to observe its characteristics and identify new possible uses. The result attained shows applicability as part of composites, as a light and low-cost product.
