It just looks like a pile of trash to most of us, but a new cellulosic ethanol facility may start making a renewable fuel from cardboard and other wood wastes. See the story here.

  1. I think we could re-use many items that we over consume.
    “If not me why not you”. AT some point things will change.

  2. Will the energy from such alcohol exceed that required to convert paperboard into alcohol, or that required to harvest trees and converting them into new paperboard? I sorta doubt it.

  3. When the oil squeeze gets tight enough, and more people wake up and fight the ‘Status Quo protectors’ and their powers in this society, hemp, a renewable, sustainable crop may be made legal again.
    In this case there would be a larger surplus of used fiber materials.
    It would be criminal, under any circumstances to waste any good opportunity to produce liquid fuel be it from cardboard, plastics, manures, sewage, weeds or algae.
