Expanding Research Horizons: USDA Forest Service Initiative for Recycled Paper Technology Development, 1994 Recycling Symposium Proceedings

Theodore H. Wegner, Theodore L. Laufenberg

The landfill crisis is posing a great environmental challenge to the United States: What are we to do with the ever-increasing accumulation of waste products? In response, the USDA Forest Service has undertaken a major research program aimed at developing systems and technologies for more complete and efficient use of recovered paper, paperboard, and wood waste. This report describes studies on pulp and paper recycling in five problem areas: paper and fiber sorting technologies, deinking and contaminant removal, pulp bleaching technologies, restoration of papermaking properties of recycled fibers, and performance characteristics of recycled paper.
