The cogon grass is first boiled and shredded, then mixed with used paper that has been previously washed. This mixture is cooked again in a large vat, cooled, laid out on homemade frames made with silkscreen, pressed for an even thickness, then dried. Considering the volume of cogon paper made, drying is sometimes both under the sun and with a dryer acquired through the grant.

∙ 14y agoPaper is made of pulp, which is the soft tissue of a plant (called cellulose). When a plant is mashed and the water squeezed out, the remaining material is commonly called pulp. (Like the bits of orange in your Orange Juice).
To make paper with the pulp, the cellulose is mixed into a slurry with water, and a screen is pulled through the mixture collecting the bits of pulp. When the screen is taken out of the slurry, the water leaks through the screen leaving a thin sheet of pulp trapped on top of the screen. When left to dry, this thin sheet of pulp becomes paper.

How effective Cogon Grass Cardboard Food Packaging?
The feasibility of cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) as a substitute for cardboard food packaging was studied in this research project. The cogon grass was cut, boiled, and crushed in order to get the pulp. The pulp was then subjected to five different treatments before it was made into a card board like material. The amount of resin and other additives was kept constant while the amount of starch was varied in every treatment. Nonbiodegradable waste is a major concern everywhere in the world. The bulk of the world's waste consists of the hard-to-break-down products, such as styrofoam. Styrofoam is commonly used as food containers in fast food restaurants. Because it cannot be recycled, this particular waste contributes largely to the world's increasing garbage problem. To lessen this environmental problem, one logical solution is to use biodegradable materials or recyclable ones. Paper is being reconsidered and encouraged for use. This material can be recycled over and over again. However, trees still need to be cut for paper production. This spells trouble for the already depleted forests. Because of this, the researchers thought of another alternative. This alternative uses cogon grass for making the pulp and the paper. Cogon grass is found abundantly in many places and is sometimes considered a nuisance.
