According to Huang Yan, a researcher from the center, an adult panda consumes 12 to 15 kilograms of bamboo every day and produces more than 10 kg of fiber-rich feces after absorbing the fructose in bamboo.
In order to turn bamboo into paper, it is necessary to break down fructose and extract the fiber, which the pandas are able to do through digestion, said Yang Chaolin, president of the company.
