What looks like wood chips or straw at first glance reveals itself as asparagus shell. During drying, the white and soft peel has turned into a brownish and durable material with wood-like properties. With the suitable processing, a fibre composite material can be produced which consists entirely of asparagus shells, as they don‘t require any binder due to their own bonding properties. The particularly long fibers also allow a high degree of flexibility and stability. Both surfaces and bodies can be pressed, modeled and folded. In spite of its robust nature, the material is easy to dissolve and can be returned into its natural cycle.
