Current status and new development of non-wood pulp in China
6. CONCLUSION
There is a wide range of non-wood materials that are used in China for paper production, such as rice/wheat straw pulp, bagasse pulp, bamboo pulp etc. There are a number of factors that may result in an increased use of currently available non-wood fibers in papermaking, and for an environmental perspective, there is growing interest on the part of activist groups and individual consumers in ―tree- free‖ papers that may help to drive an increase in paper production from non-wood fibers. The non- wood fibers have many attractive properties that can be compared with wood fibers. Different non- wood fibers can be applied to specific papermaking applications, such cotton fiber for currency papermaking, bamboo fiber for dissolving pulp making, and straw fibers for tissue papermaking due to their unique properties. However, some obstacles should be addressed before these non-wood fibers are totally/ fully used in the pulp and papermaking in China. Policies supports and technologies development are the two main engines for the increasing of non-wood pulps in China. Overall, non- wood fibers and pulps must have a bright future in China.
