Substitute For Wood

The satellite is being developed in an effort to test the viability of using biodegradable materials, like wood, as environmentally friendly substitutes for the metals that are currently used to construct all satellites.

A technology for making substitutes for wood from natural fibres like coir and jute for making furniture has been developed in Kerala, an official said. The process for making it utilises coir fibre as well as other natural fibres like banana and jute.
