    Surely you aren't serious?

    If you are referring to Papyrus Australia's "wood alternative" it falls into the category of processed fibreboards so its performance is highly dependent upon the resins / glues used and the density of the final product.

    The natural structure of the banana tree trunk gives two distinct types of Papyrus technology products: panels (at this stage, thickness from 6 to 54 mm, density from insulating (~300kg/m3) to hardboard (~900kg/m3)) and veneer (custom-designed grain and colour). Banana Palm Products
