Construction materials from organic waste without polymer binders

TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

Organic waste materials such as hemp fibers and palm stems can be utilized as “particleboard”. Using cold plasma, we are able to form a strong compact structural material without any adhesives. The raw materials may have negative cost, making this both green and cost-effective.
