Biodegradable Coating on Packaging Paper Made from Fibres of Invasive Plant Spieces&lt;em&gt; Fallopia japonica&lt;/em&gt;
Year: 2020

Fallopia japonica is a plant, native to East Asia, Japan, China and Korea, but in North America and Europe it is classified as invasive species. The root system and strong growth of these plants can damage buildings, streets, paving, retaining walls etc. It forms thick colonies, which crowd out other herbaceous species. In our project it was found out that the stem biomass of Fallopia japonica contains 40 percent of cellulose, which is comparable to the raw materials from which paper fibers are
