Can hibiscus be another alternative in paper making, if so how?

Absolutely! Here's what I found in Wikipedia.





"Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) is a species of Hibiscus...


"The main uses of kenaf fiber are the manufacture of rope, twine, coarse cloth (similar to that made from jute), and paper.





"Because it is very fast-growing compared to most trees, kenaf is a promising alternative to wood pulp for paper making that could free valuable timber for other uses."





Papermaking at home is a lot of fun. You should try it. I've never used Kenaf (or any kind of hibiscus for that matter) but I've used unprinted newspaper, all different kinds of paper just to see what the finished product would be, and it is a really neat process. I've added in leaves, other fibers and colorants, and come up with some awesome designs. Makes some neat gifts when calligraphed upon!

i'm not sure about this but i do know that you need a source of high fibre to produce good quality paper.


recently, i read in the paper that a university in Malaysia research on the possible use of banana stem fibres in making paper products (and they succeed to do so!).


considering the banana plants only bear fruits once then they make good alternative source in paper making!
