Hello, for a school project we need to shape tomato leaves into an bio end product. This could be anything from construction materials to bioplastics. I'm a bit stuck at the moment on what to choose exactly and what would be the most achievable and practical. The tomato leaves are already dried, so the only use for them would be extracting cellulose and lignin I guess, although I have no idea what to do with that. Does anyone have any ideas or advice that might help us?

I've seen folks bale up tumbleweeds to make insulation for sunken gardens. There's usually some property the material has that lends itself to making something with it. Will the pulp from dried tomato leaves make paper? Is there a pleasant aroma? Can you make tea out of them, or cook with them? Is there an animal or bug that either adores them or hates them?
