Researchers at Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University successfully transform sugarcane leaf ash, a major agricultural waste product causing severe air pollution, into high-value glass jewellery.
The innovative process utilizes the ash's high silica content to create a glass mixture that melts at lower temperatures than typical industrial glass, significantly reducing energy consumption and production costs.
The resulting glass is crafted into prototype jewellery, including bangles and necklaces, inspired by ancient Dvaravati cultural motifs, offering both commercial value and a unique aesthetic.
This initiative provides economic opportunities for local communities by enabling artisans to produce and sell jewellery with strong profit margins, while also addressing environmental concerns related to agricultural burning and expanding into global supply chains.
