Durian Fiber Products

Paper made from durian rinds offers tender filament and better quality than mulberry-pulp paper. Durian rinds may be blended with fruit or vegetable fibers to produce different kinds of paper.

Designs can be made by adding rose petals or leaves soon after sieving, but before drying it in the sunshine. Beautiful designs depend on the maker’s skills. Paper made from durian rinds is natural and has no caustic soda, thus safe to users.(see http://www.pinoybisnes.com/business-ideas/handmade-paper-from-durian-rinds/)
