    Since 1991, Oji Paper has been advancing the overseas forest plantation business for securing the forest resource and to protect the environment. Paper quality is greatly affected by the fiber properties such as fiber length, cell wall thickness, cellulose and lignin content. To get comprehensive understanding the fiber development, we have developed the EST database and oligo-microarray system for the Eucalyptus genomics.
    We already collected the gene expression profiles of three different Eucalyptus trees using our Eucalyptus oligo-microarray. To identify the expression trends of the genes involved in cellulose and lignin biosynthesis, we performed the trending data analysis using their expression profiles among several samples. Their trends could be divided into two groups, clearly. Finally, we identified the two gene clusters. Each cluster has several transcription factors (TFs) . We already reported that EcHB1 (HD-Zip class II) and EcMYB1 (Werewolf-like MYB) can be used to improve growth and fiber properties by analyzing transgenic tobacco plants as model experiments in 2007 IUFRO Tree Biotechnology meeting at.
    Currently, with the modified EcHB 1 gene, we succeeded with creating “Super-Eucalyptus”. In this report, author show details of the latest results in own study.

    Hokkaido Mill-Shiraoi in Nippon Paper Industries is located in Shiraoi-cho, which is in the southern part of Hokkaido, and almost the same distance from Tomakomai city and from Muroran city ; 30 km from Tomakomai city, and 37 km from Muroran city. Hokkaido Mill-Shiraoi has abundant water resources from the Shikiugawa River and has the capacity of 420,000 tons per year, which consists of three large-scale paper machines and one coater machine. It is one of our main mills for printing papers in Eastern Japan.
    By 2010, Nippon Paper Group is working to reduce units of fossil energy by 20% compared to fiscal 1990 levels, and also reduce per unit CO2 emissions from fossil energy consumption by 16% compared to fiscal 1990 levels. To achieve our plan, we installed power generation plants running primarily on new energy such as biomass fuels in11mills from 2003 to 2009. Because Hokkaido Mill-Shiraoi had been reliant on heavy oil boilers and on inefficient Coal Stoker boilers, we installed a new boiler which was the eighth ones in our group in 2008.
    In this paper, we will introduce main specifications of the new boiler, and operational experiences after start-up.

    Our stock preparation system produces recycled pulp for liner board machine. After No.1 line was installed in 1981, we have reinforced it to 1991 while recycled pulp increased and increased production of liner board machine. Today, we produce about 80% of recycled pulp for liner board machine.
    Our stock preparation system has three lines which are No.1 and No.2 line used 100% JOCC and No.3 line used JOCC and mixed waste paper. Then No.1 and No.2 line pulper was integrated in 2004 and this pulper was distributing recycled pulp to two lines of screen system.
    In this time, we introduce an actual reference of saving energy, comparison of operation and present situation which we got by integration and simplification of existing system flow and innovating latest technology from pulping to screening for No.1 and No.2 line in May 2009.

    Abandoned planted forest and bamboo forest erode other healthy forest, and affect eco-system at Satoyama (mountain village forest) nationwide. Proper thinning of such forest contributes the maintenance of Satoyama environment and the sustainability and reproductively of the biological diversity ; in addition this contributes to prevent global warming.
    Therefore the utilization of the forest waste resource such as thinning woods have to be accelerated, so producing paper products from the thinning woods is good solution for this purpose.
    Sendai mill has been utilizing local thinning bamboo and cedar for years. We upgraded the batch digester system pulp line for small lot into ECF pulp production plant, and this upgraded line has started production recently and the local thinning bamboo and cedar wood are utilized more effectively.
    We introduce an example this time because we started the variety eco-wood pulp production.

    In order to improve per-capita productivity of our Kishu Mill, each process was analyzed. Then, we found out low per capita productivity in finishing process and decided to streamline it. Before this streamline program, each production line had own finishing process, such as a cutter, a roll packing machine and a flat sheet packaging machine. During this program, these processes were consolidated and some of new systems were installed. After this consolidation process, another problem was expected. If all of paper making processes reach the maximum production rate, capacity of new finishing process is not enough to handle it. To overcome this problem, we installed temporary roll stock system for sheeting rolls as the buffer. In addition, automatic conveyance system has been installed entire this new process which is based on barcode identification system. As a result, per capita productivity had been significantly improved from 450 t⁄person to 490 t⁄person.
    In this report, we introduce detail of our laborsaving process and current operation.

    We introduce the market and feature about direct thermal paper having a function of water dispersion. This product consists of the water soluble paper that disperses to water quickly. Main usage is for direct thermal paper labels which have pressure sensitive adhesive on the back side.
    At first, this label is printed by portable direct thermal printer with information of some letters or barcode and putted on objects. After using, the label is easily removed by water washing. It is special characteristic of this product.
    For example, when the information should be expressed by label sticking on a surface of the returnable container, the information by human hand writing is unclear and occasionally other people can not read it. If all information is printed by direct thermal printer instead of human hand writing, these problems would be solved.
    In addition, it brings an advantage, because it doesn’t need to peel off the label with the hand, if the label is quickly dissolved by the water.

    The Japan Paper Association (JPA) has been actively working to save energy since 1997 when it established its “Committed Action Plan on Environment”. JPA declares its policy of restraining CO2 emissions in the action plan, and is working toward the following targets revised in September 2007 :
    •On a five-year average basis from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2012, reduce fossil energy consumption per unit and fossil energy derived CO2 emission per unit by 20% and 16% from the level of fiscal 1990, respectively
    •By fiscal 2012, expand forest plantation area owned or managed by the industry at home and abroad to 700 thousand hectares.
    Since fiscal year 1990, JPA has made a survey on the actual results of energy consumption in the year, published its results compared with that in fiscal year 1990. This report shows the results for fiscal year 2009, as well as energy consumption, CO2 emissions and the position of the pulp and paper industry in Japan, and information related to efforts against global warming such as carbon tax, emission trading, and total buyback program for renewable energy.

    Using an imitated washi paper made from wood pulp, a penetration of starch solution into a paper sheet and the locative variation in amount of starch applied by brushing were examined. As to the brush application with thin starch solution, the starch solution well penetrated inside the paper and a starch-paper complex structure, which was typically formed at the application method based on impregnation, was developed. In this case the tensile strength significantly increased with an increase of applied starch amount. On the other hand at the brush application with thick starch solution, the starch solution little penetrated inside a paper and a starch layer was eventually interposed by paper layers, which was typically formed at the application based on blade coating method. In this case the tensile strength little increased with an increase of starch amount. At the folding endurance the existence of a starch layer readily leaded to brittle failure although the starch solution penetrated well within a paper sheet. Thus, the applied amount of ca 33% at the application method based on impregnation and that of ca 25% at the brush application gave the maximum in folding endurance and more application of the starch rather caused a decrease in the folding endurance, irrespective of application method.
