Abstract
In this century, “comfort”, “safety”, “user-friendly” and “green” are key concepts. Our newly-developed arrowroot fiber assembly produced from industrial waste meets all of those requirements and more. In order to make effective use of industrial waste and reduce the amount produced, as well as to improve our daily lives, we investigated the development of novel fiber assemblies made from arrowroot by-products. At its heart are two processes: a chemical treatment to extract spinning materials from arrowroot industrial waste and a mechanical treatment for making the fiber assemblies. Finally, this is the first birth of new arrowroot fiber and fiber assembly.
