Paper Industry

The shape, chemical composition and structure of bamboo are very suitable for pulping. Pulping performance and pulp strength make bamboo fibers one of the most suitable materials for paper production. Bamboo pulp mill may result in improvement in paper industry like substituting pulping techniques. The paper produced from bamboo has certain advantages, which include reduction in pressure of wood demand, less pollution, and environmental protection (Kefu 2002). Bamboo pulp produced from hemi-cellulosic fibers can be used potently for the production of paper. In paper industry, bamboo fiber pulp can be used in the formation of news­print, bond paper, toilet tissue, cardboard, cement sacks, and coffee filters (Vena et al. 2010).
