Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Minh Hai introduces the technology for recycling by-products from pineapple leaves.
This technology has the potential to reuse natural resources, contributing to waste reduction, ensuring environmental safety, and limiting pollution. This technology is also suitable for research and exploitation of pineapple leaves in concentrated growing areas in Huu Lung, Van Nham, and Tuan Son communes, Lang Son province, covering an area of approximately 26.5 hectares. Utilizing agricultural waste and by-products from pineapple cultivation to process into valuable materials not only contributes to environmental protection but also opens up new development opportunities, enhancing product value and increasing income for local people.
