Abstract

This specific report provides a review of the publicly available information on the products that can be generated from fibre-based plants, as well as the processes and technologies used to generate these products from the cultivated plant biomass. Fibre crops are typically classified by the part of the plant which produces the fibre, with the types of products and production processes being similar for plants falling under the same classification. This review focuses on the simultaneous generation of multiple products from bast fibre plants, kenaf and hemp (Section 2), and the grass fibre, bamboo (Section 3). Consideration is also given to the potential options for the recovery of phyto-extracted metals (Section 4).
