| Summary: | Though the revolution of technology has reduced paper production everywhere around the world, the amount of paper consumed each day is still tremendously large. The paper industry remains a growth industry globally, with volumes forecast to increase 50% by 2035 with most of the growth occurring in the packaging and tissues sector. The main material used in paper production is wood fibre. In order to satisfy the large demand for paper, thousands of trees must be cut down every year. Deforestation caused by worldwide consumption of wood-based paper has been a huge environmental issue. As the awareness of sustainability continues to rise, the demand for sustainable paper increases. The investigation of looking for alternatives has been a critical issue. The new alternative on the market is sugarcane fibre paper [1]. |
