The Perspective on Bamboo Paper-making

One of the developmental tendencies in modern paper-making industry is that more timber materials are put in use.However, straw pulp was the main materials in paper-making in the past years due to the lacking of wood resources in China.Bamboo timber,having a fibre content of 40%～60% with an average length of 2 mm and being a kind of long-fibre timber, is a kind of excellent material for making high-quality paper.More bamboo has been put in use as paper-making material, instead of wood, which will give a solution to the problem of lacking of excellent pater-making material.Besides, some ideas and suggestions for China's paper-making industry should be emphasized,e.g.,bamboo bases should be established; sympodial bamboos suitable for paper-making usage should be planted around the factories while moso bamboo should be intensively cultivated; the research on bamboo paper-making should be strengthened to promote its development.
