    I‘m a bit surprised there hasn’t been many fibrous materials in the packs until now. Wood can be chemically modified and compressed (in a workshop at home) leading to a substantially more robust plate. I‘d also want to pack then in vacuum bags and fill with an adhesive. Maybe I‘m completely wrong, but nonetheless this is interesting.
