    Study Notes

    Bamboo Pulp

    • Bamboo pulp is derived from the inner tissues of bamboo trees, utilized for making paper and biodegradable products.
    • It serves as a sustainable alternative to traditional wood pulp due to bamboo's rapid growth and renewability.

    Plant Fibres for Textiles

    • Cotton is the primary plant associated with fibres used for making clothes and bags, known for its softness and breathability.
    • Other plants like hemp and flax also provide fibres that are used in textiles, offering strength and durability.

    Source of Rubber

    • Rubber is obtained from the latex of rubber trees, primarily the Hevea brasiliensis species.
    • The latex is harvested through a process called tapping, which involves making incisions in the bark to collect the milky fluid.

    Plant Part for Resin

    • The resin used in paints is sourced from the bark of specific trees, particularly pine trees.
    • This natural substance acts as a binding agent and provides water resistance and durability to paint products.

    Compost Composition

    • Compost is made from organic materials such as kitchen scraps, yard waste, and other biodegradable materials.
    • The decomposition process transforms these materials into nutrient-rich soil amendments that enhance plant growth.
