  • Description: A ground-breaking discovery: Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), produced by plants, open the way to produce pulp at low temperatures and at atmospheric pressure. Using DES, any type of biomass could be dissolved into lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose with minimal energy emissions and residues. They could also be used to recover cellulose from waste and dissolve ink residues in recovered paper. DES are an adaption of a natural phenomenon known from plant metabolism. Researchers found that plants can operate even under water stress (i.e. during periods of drought or frost), using the organics in their cells to produce DES. In papermaking today, cellulose fibers used to make paper have to be suspended in large volumes of water to prevent them forming clumps. The innovation introduces two technologies that enable the production of paper with no water. When cure forming would be industrially implemented it would totally change the paradigm of modern papermaking.
