Loomtex

We thought you might like a closer look at the Loomtex product we showed you recently. Remember the chair made from paper. Look closely and you’ll spy that it’s a tightly twisted paper, woven through the ‘weft’ (sideways) with a vertical ‘warp’ of flax, which us lesser mortals might call linen This remarkable and flexible fabric comes in ten colours, like spice, taupe, storm and marble. Oh yeh ,and it can be made in widths up to 2300mm (7.5 feet). So eco-thinking designers love it. They can also put it to work as a durable carpet rug, with myriad weave patterns. ::Lloyd Looms [by WM]
Mine is not exactly a comment per say.It's more of a question. You see,I'm a mechanical engineering student of Accra Polytechnic and I'm trying to come out with a project which is environmentally friendly like Paper bags for water storage but the truth of the matter is,I don't know the chemistry behind a waterproof paper bag!The government of Ghana will sooner than later come up with a ban on the sales of sachet water(thus those sold in plastic bags)because plastics are not biodegradable! I would be very glad if you can really help me come up with this paper water storage thing so as to come up with an alternative to the total ban.Thanks
