BENITEZ, Julieta B.; POPO AMU, Manuel; VALLEJOS, María E.  e  AREA, María C.. Manufacture of handmade paper from non-conventional fibers of five colombian species. Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2019, n.31, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-7587.

The papermaking from annual plant or agro-industrial waste fibers is a cost-effective alternative for countries with insufficient wood resources. These fibers can be used to obtain handmade paper qualities. The objective of this study was to assess the potential of five types of unconventional fibers (limoncillo, cinnamon, bamboo, papaya and mango) from Colombia for the production of handmade paper by the microscopic characterization of this fibers and the determination of the physical-mechanical and optic properties of the obtained paper. The papermaking properties were, in general, lower than the properties of the conventional papermaking pulps (similar to those of a quimimecánica pulp of eucalyptus).The best way to use these fibers in handmade papers is to make sheets of grammages greater than 100 g/m² and use them without bleaching, taking advantage of their rustic appearance and natural coloration for the manufacture of covers or decorative elements.
