ECOLOGÍA, PRODUCCIÓN Y EXPORTACIÓN DE PASTA DE PAPEL UTILIZANDO DESECHOS ORGÁNICOS DE BANANO

Abstract

Over time, companies worldwide are focusing on friendly process in order to keep clean environment, the current contamination from industry based in chemicals has caused climate disruption threatening the habitat of all living beings on the planet. Our country over time has proven to be powerful in agriculture terms, however residual organic debris left by agricultural processes are unused by lack of research and development. In the province of El Oro can display thousands hectares of banana crops which weekly discarded organic material (spine) once the harvest was completed. Spine is known as the stem for holding the fruit in the banana plant; this part has the particularity to be rich in cellulose which is one of the major components of the paper. So we can use the spine as raw material for pulp developed by a mechanical process in order to be exported and thus generate a parallel source of income and at the same time contribute to reducing deforestation which is the source main papermaking. Then we could say that the process described has endless benefits as much as it is the income of foreign exchange, generating working places, the use of organic matter discarded to produce goods and reducing deforestation in environmental contribution.
