- Scientists have reported a method to produce from sisal leaves a “highly absorbent and retentive material”.
- The material can potentially replace cotton, wood pulp, and chemical absorbents in sanitary napkins.
- The absorption capacity of the material is higher than those found in commercial menstrual pads.
- The ancient Aztec and Mayan civilisations were perhaps the first to begin making paper out of sisal leaves.
