  • Description: From a technical and quality standpoint, any grade of paper or paperboard can be produced using a 100% nonwood furnish containing various plant fibers. Nonwood plant fibers that appear to have the greatest potential in the US are bagasse, cereal straws, seed grass straw, kenaf, and possibly grain sorghum stalks. Nonwood plant fiber pulp capacity has increased dramatically during the past 20 years, from 9.3 million metric tons, or 6.9% of total world papermaking pulp capacity, in 1975, to almost 21 million metric tons, or 10.6%, in 1993. From a quantity perspective, straw, bagasse, and bamboo are leading nonwood fibers being used, but many other nonwood fibers are also being used, especially for specialty pulps. The current top 24 countries in nonwood pulping capacity, comparing 1993 versus 1998 estimated figures, are listed.
