The Natural way to make Paper
1. Banana fibres, pineapple tops and elephant grass are cut into small pieces and boiled for 8 hours.
2. When the fibres are soft they are blended and recycled paper is sometimes added to create different textures and colours of paper.
3. The pulp is mixed in large water containers and is removed using screens made of mosquito mesh.
4. These racks, covered in the pulp, are then put in the sun to dry.
5. The dry sheets of paper are removed from the screens and put into a press to squash them flat.
