Making paper from apples

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Apr 17th 2006 @ 8:05PM

An Italian inventor has developed a way to make paper from apple by-products, according to a recent release on FreshPlaza.com. About two years ago, Dr. Albert Volcan (right) began work on the process of drying, cooling and grinding waste from apple juice production. He has since fine tuned the method so that the apple waste doesn't ferment and is thus able to produce a stable paper product that is being called Cartamela. For you Italian speakers, more info is available at EcoApple.com.
