The pulp and paper industry emits large amout of CO2. Due to the high dependency on fossil fuels, transition toward net-zero is essential. On the other hand, the majors put effort into paper product as plastic substitutes, especially barrier paper for packaging due to enforcement of the new law : The Plastic Resource Circulation Act.
The concept of circular economy is “promote resource cycling, reduce waste, while efficient utilization of untapped resources”. In the case, this paper introduce CaMISHELL® that is branded the eggshell paper and nanocellulose as a plant-derived next generation.
Fuel switching is the key to achieve carbon neutrality in the industry, and innovative technologies are drawing attention. However, early practical application is difficult, the transition period, it is essential to contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions of society as a whole by providing products made of carbon-neutral and environmentally friendly materials, by using “biorefinery” technologies for manufacturing chemical products from woody resources.
