Casuarina junghuhniana Miq., introduced into India in 1996, is gaining importance as an agroforestry species, with potential use in pulp and paper industry. Tree improvement of the species and attempts at clonal forestry are in progress. A hybrid of Casuarina equisetifolia L. and C. junghuhniana, introduced in 1951 from Thailand, is also planted in India, with the wrong identity as Casuarina junghuhniana. The present paper reviews the silviculture and tree improvement of the species, especially the attempts at introduction to various parts of the world by CSIRO, Australia, with special reference to India. The paper also attempts to resolve the confusion between the hybrid and the pure species, among the planting agencies in India.

Abstract Eucalyptus woodpulp (eucapulp) emerged as a significant force in the world market for paper grade pulp approximately a decade ago, and since 1976, production has increased at a compound annual rate of growth exceeding 20%. Recently, the closure of a Wisconsin pulpmill was associated with imports of eucapulp, and fears that a rapid influx of eucapulp would destroy local pulpwood markets spread throughout the northern U.S. forestry community. Eucapulp is an ideal fiber furnish for production of tissue and printing and writing papers, both of which are mainstays of the pulp and paper industry in the North. Eucapulp represents a major structural shift in the world pulp and paper sector, and it is likely to have a continuing impact on the U.S. industry, especially in the North. However, imports of eucapulp and of papers made from eucapulp are expected to increase in the future at an evolutionary pace and not to pose an immediate threat to the regional industry. North. J. Appl. For. 7:158-163, December 1990.

This paper is a critical analysis of media discourse on a corporate restructuring case in the pulp and paper industry in Finland. The analysis indicates that discursive struggles over the legitimacy of corporate restructuring initiatives, especially industrial shutdowns, are highly contextual processes, deeply embedded in the socio-historical specificities of the locations where they occur. Legitimation of the various restructuring measures is a political and a fundamentally historical process. It is argued that analyses of legitimation strategies need to deploy a processual, historical approach to be able to effectively engage with the practice of legitimation. The importance of, and the differences in, nationalist discourses in securing or challenging the legitimacy for drastic restructuring measures is analysed in the specific context of Finland.

Abstract The pulp and paper industry occupies one of the leading places among various sectors of the national economy in terms of versatility and prevalence throughout the world, as well as the need for its products for the economy of any country. In addition, with the advent of printing systems that operate at an increasingly faster speed and perform complex tasks, the requirements for the properties and quality of paper have increased. At present, powdered cellulose is a promising direction in the development of the pulp and paper industry. The article discusses the possibility of obtaining powdered cellulose with preliminary grinding on a knifeless grinding plant of the “jet-barrier” type. The morphological properties of the fiber and the degree of polymerization of powdered cellulose are given depending on the degree of grinding.

AbstractThe category of household and sanitary products is the most important category in the paper industry, because it is related to people’s daily lives all around the world. This category is seeing a rapid increase in consumption, while consumption in other categories, such as printing or writing paper, is presently declining. China is the largest manufacturer, as well as the largest consumer of household and sanitary paper. Nowadays, environmental consciousness and concerns are rising in China and have started to influence customers’ behavior in selecting and using paper products. In the present study, surveys were conducted of the paper industry, the retail market for paper, and end consumers of paper. The relationship between new challenges of the paper industry and consumers’ environmental concerns has been investigated and reported.

The Trends in Employment and Labour Productivity in the Pulp and Paper Industry. Despite many challenges, the pulp and paper industry is a dynamically developing branch of industry in the world. It seems that especially growing competition from less developed countries, such as Indonesia, and the falling demand for paper may be reasons for the difficulties of pulp and paper factories, i.e. decreasing profitability of paper production and number of employed in this industry in recent years. From the perspective of the employment volume and related work efficiency, it was interesting to examine and assess employment and the use of human resources in pulp and paper industry, especially in the countries of the Visegrad Group, which economies have been characterized by stable GDP growth in recent years. The paper analyses the value of pulp and paper industry production and its structure in the Visegrad Group countries relative to EU28 countries and employment and age structure of the employed

The peculiarities of the development of the world pulp and paper industry have been considered in this study. The types of products are described and the traditional type of production process within the industry has been characterized. The main exporters of pulp and paper products in the world have been identified. The dynamics of production indicators for printing paper, pulp, chemical wood pulp, cardboard, coated paper in the world market has been analyzed. A review of the pulp and paper industry of Ukraine was carried out on the basis of indicators of export and import of pulp from wood or other fibrous materials, export-import balance, sales of pulp, paper and cardboard in domestic and foreign markets. The current trend in the dynamics of export-import balance in the bulk trade of wood or other fibrous pulp for the period 2016-2020 indicates a significant predominance of imports over exports, which can be attributed to the lack of positive developments in the segment of deep wood processing in the forest sector. The key factors of modern transformations of the world market of pulp and paper products are stated: the growing demand for viscose pulp products used in the manufacture of new types of plastics; growing demand for recycled paper in the context of environmental friendliness of the material; growth in demand for sanitary and hygienic types of paper, which is associated with the growth of income and population on a global scale; growing demand for packaging paper and cardboard as an ecological type of packaging material; falling demand for all types of sulfite cellulose due to the negative impact on the environment; falling demand for all types of writing paper due to the technological revolution and changes in the format of data storage as a result of digitalization processes. The global pandemic COVID-2019, the processes of digitalization and human development on the basis of the concept of sustainable development have been considered as the main drivers of transformation processes in the industry. The main priorities of development of enterprises of pulp and paper products in the conditions of modern transformations for the purpose of increase of the international competitiveness of industrial centers on the world arena have been specified.

Agricultural residues and energy crops are promising resources that can be utilized in the pulp and paper industry. This study examines the potential of co-cooking nonwood materials with hardwoods as means to incorporate nonwood material into a paper furnish. Specifically, miscanthus, switchgrass, and corn stover were substituted for poplar hardwood chips in the amounts of 10 wt %, 20 wt %, and 30 wt %, and the blends were subjected to kraft pulping experiments. The pulps were then bleached with an OD(EP)D sequence and then refined and formed into handsheets to characterize their physical properties. Surprisingly, all three co-cooked pulps showed improved strength properties (up to 35%). Sugar measurement of the pulps by high-performance liquid chromatography suggested that the strength increase correlated with enriched xylan content.
