In fact, bamboo has been an indispensable fiber raw material for papermaking industry in the India subcontinent and China.Ĭompared with wood, bamboo has the advantages of a short growth cycle (3 to 5 years), self-reproduction, and low cost in maintenance and regeneration. From the view of forest conservation or sustainable economic development, bamboo is an important non-wood fiber raw material for pulping and papermaking, especially in these developing countries. Coincidently many developing countries that lack wood resources possess rich bamboo resources. Furthermore, India and China together account for approximately 70% of the bamboo forest in Asia (Mera and Xu 2014). About 80% of bamboo forest lands in the world are in the Asia and Pacific regions.

1 (Mera and Xu 2014), the main producing areas of bamboo are in the Asian-Pacific Region (I), the Americas Region (II), and Africa (III). * Corresponding author: Is an Important Non-Wood Fiber Raw Material for Pulping and Papermakingīamboo is widely distributed in subtropical and tropical areas.

New technologies such as silicon removal have been developed to overcome the disadvantage of bamboo as a pulping raw material, as well as to improve the quality of bamboo pulp products.

14(1), 3-5.Īs a widely distributed and fast growing graminaceous plant, bamboo has emerged as an important raw material for pulping and papermaking to mitigate the shortage of wood resources, at least in the East Asia region.
