Patent ID: 8763938

Claim:
A method of preparing dense lignocellulosic fibre aggregates for use in manufacturing high performance, recyclable and moldable lignocellulosic fibre and thermoplastic composites, or articles made of the high performance, recyclable and moldable lignocellulosic fibre and thermoplastic composites, characterized in that said method comprises the steps of: a) obtaining a densified mass of lignocellulosic fibre; b) feeding the densified mass of lignocellulosic fibre into a size reduction device; and c) size reducing the densified mass of lignocellulosic fibre by means of the size reduction device so as to produce dense lignocellulosic fibre aggregates for use in manufacturing high performance, recyclable and moldable lignocellulosic fibre and thermoplastic composites, or articles made of the high performance, recyclable and moldable lignocellulosic fibre and thermoplastic composites, said dense lignocellulosic fibre aggregates having individual particle densities equal to or virtually equal to the densified mass of lignocellulosic fibre's density prior to being fed into the size reduction device.
