| Abstract | Due to high demand and increasing prices of wood-based cellulose, alternative sources of lignocellulosic biomass are gaining on their importance. Among them are invasive alien plants (IAP) that currently are being discarded (burned or composted) in spite the fact that they can be converted to useful products. For packaging of large home appliances, currently expanded polystyrene (EPS) is used. By exchanging EPS with cellulose-based (from IAP biomass) packaging, the circular nature of the packaging will be improved. Within the first stage of the LEAP project the potential of IAP biomass for conversion to cellulose and its use for production of foam formed packaging materials is being studied - various IAP have been evaluated in terms of their potential use for cellulose production, cellulose quality and key mechanical parameters. The data gathered is being used in computer assisted design and construction of packaging for large home appliances. A preliminary LCA analysis on the use of alternative raw materials as a source for cellulose production has also been performed. |
