The student received the highest award of competition for the technology of making paper from fallen leaves. Zik.

The invention of the 16-year-old Ukrainian solves two environmental problems at once: the fallen leaves are not burned, but become raw materials for the manufacture of cellulose, while the trees that are now used as the main raw material for paper remain intact.

According to a study, the leaves of birch, oak, willow and hornbeam are best for making paper. To separate the pulp, the inventor uses a blender, with which he chops the fibers and then bleaches them.

Valentin admitted that paper, manufactured by this method, is somewhat inferior in quality to the traditional one, especially color, but it may well be a substitute for packaging paper. In addition, it is possible to write, draw on it, it is suitable for a printer, however, due to its yellowish color, it is not aesthetic enough.

For winning the Olympics, the inventor received the right to participate in the international exhibition in South Korea.

In addition to the gold medal, Frechka also received a special award from the competition, which was awarded to only two participants.

“I actively participate in international competitions where I present my project. In total, I have six gold medals and one silver. But the victory at Genius is special for me: this is the highest achievement among all that I have had,” said the student.

Ukrainians for the second year in a row get primacy on Genius. In 2017, Kiev’s Nikolai Ivanchenko, who invented a special adsorbent to eliminate oil spills, received gold in the United States.
