Very interesting. I love planting pineapples and eating its fruit but didn't know that it's leaves are also useful. I learnt alot from this video. Watching from Papua New Guinea.
Pity the video didn't show the application of the pineapple fibre in plastics and products made from the plastic. The extraction process and description of the zuppar fibre became too technical. Struggled to watch to the end.
Hi Dr. Taweechai, do you know any degradable plastic resin to mix with Zuppar so the end product is 100% degradable? I think the idea of mixing PALF fibrous and non-fibrous with plastic is GREAT, it acts as filler and reduce plastic usage, however plastic is still involved in it. How can we make it 100% degradable?
Thank you for your comments. Yes, I know some degradable plastics. I tried PLA and am currently working on PBS and starch. We are interested in durable and recyclable products with low carbon footprint. We try to use recycled plastic and employ the products as places to store (sequester) the carbon. We are also developing products that is 100% degradable.
@@stephenpmurphy591 Philippines were a colony of Spain for 333 years thats how pineapples got to the Philippines. Piña fibres were used to make most of our traditional clothes.
Philipinos are really culturally confident... I see these kind of comments all over the internet. When uploader introducing some cool stuff, random "it has been done in Phillippines many many years" pops up, although they has only colonized history.
extraction and use of Pineapple fiber is a hundred years old Philippine technology. The most formal dress in the Philippines is only made from pineapple fibers.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing
1:22 did anyone else flinch at the proximity of those fingers to the mechanical-cutter? God, it could pull you right in 😱

Sir, can you give me a link to see the journal about this research?
Or in BIOGAS and fertilizers

Very interesting. Can you share the technology. I’m very much interested
It’s been done for a long time in the Philippines, we call them Piña Fibres
Pineapple plant's are endemic to South American rainforest so it's not a native plant of the Philippines.

@@MumuMagnum 333 year's isn't endemic.
@@stephenpmurphy591 never said it is. I just explained how it came about.

Philippines already makes pineapple fiber for clothings .. generations ago
pineapple fiber is use in making traditional cloth in the philippines
What machine do you use for ground the material to make paste?
It's interest thing, fiber from pineapple. Can we say that is's natural product?

Hi, I’m interested to find out more about your project. Where to contact?
Do you use biomass in BIOCHAR?
Regards
Can you mention kind of this pineapple?
So you still use plastic and chemicals, it just that you mix it with zuppar
Pineapple leaf's are available
Hi may i know where to get the chopper machine to cut the leaves smaller?
Hello, we had it made in a local shop.
anyone looking for Pineapple fiber for fabric/cloth? im the manufacturer from indonesia
Um from Bangladesh, i need customer. Pls help me.
Can the same process be applied to mangosteen hulls?
