“…The functional unit is one metric tonne of sisal fibre, ready for export at sea-port. Different grades of sisal fibre are distinguished based on fibre length and qualitative aspects such as colour and the presence of knots, impurities or defects (Anandjiwala and John, 2010). The sisal fibres produced in Brazil and Tanzania are not completely identical due to cultivation and decortication differences (dry decortication can reduce fibre quality; Mmari, 2012), and the grading systems used are different (Anandjiwala and John, 2010).…”

“…Different grades of sisal fibre are distinguished based on fibre length and qualitative aspects such as colour and the presence of knots, impurities or defects (Anandjiwala and John, 2010). The sisal fibres produced in Brazil and Tanzania are not completely identical due to cultivation and decortication differences (dry decortication can reduce fibre quality; Mmari, 2012), and the grading systems used are different (Anandjiwala and John, 2010). These quality differences are partially reflected in the market price, as sisal fibre from Tanzania is more expensive than sisal fibre from Brazil (see also SM2: Supplementary Material, section 2).…”

“…Extruding the natural fibers with the host polymer granulates in a short time conforming to the recommendation of the first point. This means implicitly the increase of the compounding speed and hence the shear stress applied will be increased [10]. 100 rpm was recommended for PP/ flax extrusion [11].…”

“…A produção em maior escala ocorreu a partir de 1888, propagando-se do México para outras regiões tropicais e subtropicais. Figura 2.3: Plantação de sisal (Santiago, 2011) Durante o final do século XVIII e início do século XIX, a plantação de sisal foi iniciada nos continentes africano e asiático, devido ao seu poder para crescer sob diferentes condições ecológicas e climáticas, variando desde as condições de calor e umidade do Quénia e Tanzânia, para as condições tropicais do Brasil, da costa da Florida e Havai e das ilhas das Caraíbas, e mais recentemente também a China se tornou um país produtor de sisal (Anandjiwala & John, 2010).…”

“…A cultura do sisal, uma das fibras mais utilizadas mundialmente, é de extrema importância socioeconômica para o Brasil, por ser a única economicamente viável na região semiárida do Nordeste, com cerca de 1 milhão de pessoas que dela dependem para sua subsistência (Mattoso et al, 1997) Uma planta de sisal apresenta um período de vida que varia entre 7 e 15 anos, em função do tipo de cultura, espécie, clima, condições de crescimento e qualidade do solo (Anandjiwala & John, 2010). A colheita do sisal é feita após 5 ou 6 anos do plantio.…”
