Fibers Extraction Processes of Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) For the Purpose of Ballistic Shield: A Review

Bambusa vulgaris is a rapidly renewable and highly sustainable plant that has gained significant attention in various industries due to its versatility and eco-friendly nature and offers a rapid replenishment cycle that contrasts starkly with the decades required for many traditional hardwoods to mature. This study investigated the holistic view of Bambusa vulgaris extraction processes as it significant for both academic research and industrial practice. Findings indicate that while the chemical method produces the highest yield, it is accompanied by significant environmental and economic drawbacks, including high energy consumption, waste generation, and elevated operating costs. Conversely, the mechanical method delivers superior fiber quality with moderate yields; however, its energy requirements remain a challenge that impacts overall cost-effectiveness. Notably, the biological extraction process emerged as the most sustainable and economically viable method. Although it yielded slightly lower fiber output, its minimal energy consumption, reduced waste production, and lower operational costs position it as a promising candidate for scalable, eco-friendly bamboo fiber production.
