BAMBOO FIBRE RECYCLED CARDBOARD NATURAL JUTE BAMBOO CORK WHEAT STRAW RPET / RECYCLED PET 187 MATERIALS GUIDE Bamboo fibre is obtained from the organic filaments of this plant, characterized by its rapid growth and its wide ecological connotations. The inclusion of bamboo fiber (FIBRE) in various compounds creates new and resistant materials, becoming a sustainable alternative to the traditional highly polluting plastics. The remains of paper from the manufacturing processes, together with the paper that has reached the end of its lifespan, become an ecological and sustainable material. During the paper recycling process, the amount of virgin fibres used is drastically reduced, contributing to the conservation of forests. In addition, the amount of energy used in the process of recycled paper is considerably reduced, compared to the energy required for the production of traditional white paper. Natural jute stands out among sustainable materials because the manufacturing processes have a low impact on the environment, together with its rapid regeneration. The natural aspect, together with its resistance and durability, makes of it a sustainable material of reference. The natural bamboo plant is characterised by its great resistance, flexibility and above all, by its rapid growth and regeneration, a characteristic that makes it a sustainable material and an excellent alternative to the use of traditional wood, with a multitude of applications. It is naturally resistant to plagues, so it does not require the use of pesticides. Cork is considered an excellent insulator, flexible, which regenerates naturally around the trunk of the trees from which it is extracted, mainly from the oak tree. The processes of cork extraction have a minimum impact on the environment, also standing out for being one of the most durable and resistant organic materials. Wheat straw is obtained from organic waste of the remains of the wheat harvest. Through its reuse, it contributes to the reduction of the use of plastics in a remarkable way, resulting in durable, versatile and resistant compounds, which can be applied in the elaboration of infinite products. RPET or recycled PET is a material made from the reuse of PET, a kind of plastic present, mainly in the manufacture of bottles and other packaging for drinks. Through industrial processes, PET waste is 100% recycled, resulting in rPET, whose carbon footprint (CO2 emissions into the atmosphere) is drastically reduced. In this way, a simple plastic bottle becomes a resistant material with a multitude of applications and functionalities. This is, at the same time, a recycled and recyclable compound.
