Environment
- Kenaf plant absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere more than any other crop - about 1.5 tons of CO2 is needed for a production of 1 ton of dry matter of Kenaf. it means that every hectare of Kenaf consumes 30-40 tons of CO2 for each growing cycle.
- figures: during a single growing cycle, each hectare of kenaf consume the amount of CO2 that exhaust from 20 cars in whole year.
- Since no chemical pest control is needed, neither toxic nor synthetic products should be applied during growing cycle, hence groing kenaf benefits the eco-system.
- Kenaf plant can absorb toxic elements, such as heavy metals from the soil.
- Industrial products made with Kenaf fibers instead of synthetic fibers can be recycled.
Very important aspects for automotive & construction industries. - Kenaf core can be applied as soil remediation in case of hydro carbonates infestations.
