Abstract
This part includes the establishment of a cooperative bamboo resources recycling utilization model. Bamboo fibers as a novel natural fiber are the focus points of bamboo conversion, new material, and textile domains. Presently, there is a lack of bamboo fiber production technology in Taiwan, therefore developing high-value addition bamboo fiber production technology is urgently needed. Henceforth, we plan a two-fork approach to the issue by 1) develop highly efficient bamboo fiber products production, such as painting, calligraphic, and mounting specialty papers with high value addition; and 2) using bamboo wastes to develop, prepare and apply bamboo nanocellulose.Wood pellets are produced by applying high temperature and pressure to pulverized woody particles to form firm pellets, the raw materials are generally woody wastes, and in the energy regulations of EU stipulates that for power production and heating energy, renewable energy utilization shall reach respectively 21% and 20% in member nations by 2020. However, the lack of available woody wastes and abundant bamboo resources in Taiwan suggests that bamboo could serve as the raw material to produce fuel pellets with ample developmental opportunities. In this project, we aim to prepare eco-friendly fuel from bamboo residue and set up exhibitions of local energy facilities. With effective and efficient utilization of resources, environmental problems and industry difficulties can both be solved.While there are various examples of bamboo-structured buildings internationally, the related regulations are incomplete. Bamboo (wood) should be regulated if it is used as a type of building material. In Taiwan, the Building Technical Regulations include neither the regulations for bamboo-structured buildings nor the inspection standards for bamboo wood. If the related regulations are to be established, the related data modules will have to be provided beforehand. With a rich yield of native bamboo and plans for its diverse utilization, the beauty of the bamboo-structured buildings in Taiwan will be brought out and appreciated.
