“…If the treatment is done before the pulp is refined, then the main benefit may entail a reduction in energy required to refine to a given level of strength improvement (Seo et al 2000;Heitmann and Wallace 2004;Laothanachareon et al 2011). For instance, Laothanachareon et al (2011) treated old corrugated container (OCC) pulp with a cellulase-rich enzyme mixture. The treatment led to reductions in the energy required for refining, while maintaining compression strength and tensile strength.…”

Paper production requires large amounts of cellulosic fiber, whereas the world's forested lands and croplands have a finite capacity to supply such resources. To deal with likely future pressure on forest resources, as well as to hold down costs of materials, publications examined in the preparation of this review suggest that the paper industry will need to implement several concurrent strategies. In particular, the industry can be expected to view recycling as a central part of its activities. Basis weights of various paper-based products can be expected to decrease over the coming decades, and more of the fiber content will be replaced with fillers such as calcium carbonate. Such trends will place intense demands upon chemical-based strategies to enhance the bonding within paper and paperboard. Based on the literature, further progress in reducing the amount of new forest resources used to meet a given set of paper product requirements will require a combined approach, taking into account various fiber attributes, nanostructures, novel concepts in bond formation, and advances in the unit operations of papermaking.
