The World

The peculiarities of the development of the world pulp and paper industry have been considered in this study. The types of products are described and the traditional type of production process within the industry has been characterized. The main exporters of pulp and paper products in the world have been identified. The dynamics of production indicators for printing paper, pulp, chemical wood pulp, cardboard, coated paper in the world market has been analyzed. A review of the pulp and paper industry of Ukraine was carried out on the basis of indicators of export and import of pulp from wood or other fibrous materials, export-import balance, sales of pulp, paper and cardboard in domestic and foreign markets. The current trend in the dynamics of export-import balance in the bulk trade of wood or other fibrous pulp for the period 2016-2020 indicates a significant predominance of imports over exports, which can be attributed to the lack of positive developments in the segment of deep wood processing in the forest sector. The key factors of modern transformations of the world market of pulp and paper products are stated: the growing demand for viscose pulp products used in the manufacture of new types of plastics; growing demand for recycled paper in the context of environmental friendliness of the material; growth in demand for sanitary and hygienic types of paper, which is associated with the growth of income and population on a global scale; growing demand for packaging paper and cardboard as an ecological type of packaging material; falling demand for all types of sulfite cellulose due to the negative impact on the environment; falling demand for all types of writing paper due to the technological revolution and changes in the format of data storage as a result of digitalization processes. The global pandemic COVID-2019, the processes of digitalization and human development on the basis of the concept of sustainable development have been considered as the main drivers of transformation processes in the industry. The main priorities of development of enterprises of pulp and paper products in the conditions of modern transformations for the purpose of increase of the international competitiveness of industrial centers on the world arena have been specified.

Abstract Eucalyptus woodpulp (eucapulp) emerged as a significant force in the world market for paper grade pulp approximately a decade ago, and since 1976, production has increased at a compound annual rate of growth exceeding 20%. Recently, the closure of a Wisconsin pulpmill was associated with imports of eucapulp, and fears that a rapid influx of eucapulp would destroy local pulpwood markets spread throughout the northern U.S. forestry community. Eucapulp is an ideal fiber furnish for production of tissue and printing and writing papers, both of which are mainstays of the pulp and paper industry in the North. Eucapulp represents a major structural shift in the world pulp and paper sector, and it is likely to have a continuing impact on the U.S. industry, especially in the North. However, imports of eucapulp and of papers made from eucapulp are expected to increase in the future at an evolutionary pace and not to pose an immediate threat to the regional industry. North. J.

This paper is a critical analysis of media discourse on a corporate restructuring case in the pulp and paper industry in Finland. The analysis indicates that discursive struggles over the legitimacy of corporate restructuring initiatives, especially industrial shutdowns, are highly contextual processes, deeply embedded in the socio-historical specificities of the locations where they occur. Legitimation of the various restructuring measures is a political and a fundamentally historical process. It is argued that analyses of legitimation strategies need to deploy a processual, historical approach to be able to effectively engage with the practice of legitimation. The importance of, and the differences in, nationalist discourses in securing or challenging the legitimacy for drastic restructuring measures is analysed in the specific context of Finland.

Abstract The pulp and paper industry occupies one of the leading places among various sectors of the national economy in terms of versatility and prevalence throughout the world, as well as the need for its products for the economy of any country. In addition, with the advent of printing systems that operate at an increasingly faster speed and perform complex tasks, the requirements for the properties and quality of paper have increased. At present, powdered cellulose is a promising direction in the development of the pulp and paper industry. The article discusses the possibility of obtaining powdered cellulose with preliminary grinding on a knifeless grinding plant of the “jet-barrier” type. The morphological properties of the fiber and the degree of polymerization of powdered cellulose are given depending on the degree of grinding.

This paper studies substitution between main categories of imported pulp and paper products and between imported and domestic pulp and paper products in the US market. A restricted translog subcost function approach was employed to derive the elasticity of substitution. The results suggest that Canadian pulp and paper products are competitive and have maintained their competitiveness in the US market, and therefore, the challenges faced by the Canadian pulp and paper industry are not because of the loss of its product competitiveness but are due to other reasons such as declining demand for paper products in the United States. It seems that if the Canadian pulp and paper industry wants to retain its dominant position in the world market place, it will have to create global reach and develop new markets.

Casuarina junghuhniana Miq., introduced into India in 1996, is gaining importance as an agroforestry species, with potential use in pulp and paper industry. Tree improvement of the species and attempts at clonal forestry are in progress. A hybrid of Casuarina equisetifolia L. and C. junghuhniana, introduced in 1951 from Thailand, is also planted in India, with the wrong identity as Casuarina junghuhniana. The present paper reviews the silviculture and tree improvement of the species, especially the attempts at introduction to various parts of the world by CSIRO, Australia, with special reference to India. The paper also attempts to resolve the confusion between the hybrid and the pure species, among the planting agencies in India.

This paper presents the results of a study of changes in the heavy metals content of soils of Karelia (podzolic loamy and peats high moor). Waste from wood processing, pulp and paper industry was added to the soils as organic additives using sodium lignosulfonate as an example. The results showed that no correlation with the additive dose was found in the series of total (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ti, Al, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Mo) and available forms of metals (Cu, Zn, Ti, Al, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Mo). Nevertheless, there is a positive correlation between the total and available forms of Pb and the available forms of Fe and Mn (r = 0.9), which can be explained by their initial content in the industrial plant material. It should be noted that the content of all forms of the studied metals did not exceed the requirements of sanitary-hygienic standards and geochemical background typical for soils in Karelia.

The article analyzed the technogenic load of a pulp and paper mill as a source of waste generation. Based on the analysis, the waste groups of the pulp and paper industry with the excess of education standards were identified, and among these groups suitable for recycling and reuse. Among such wastes, osprey was isolated - waste from the processing of sewage sludge from the pulp and paper industry. The stages of the technological process of manufacturing pulp and paper products from recycled materials were also considered. An analysis of scientific and technical information was carried out, within the framework of which the features of the main technical solutions in the field of processing and disposal of osprey were investigated. An electro-osmotic plant was developed, the essence of which is to achieve maximum energy efficiency in the process of dewatering sewage sludge from the pulp and paper industry. According to the results of the experiments, a correlation assessment was made of the parameters of electroosmotic dehydration: reduction of the residual mass of the osprey and current strength on the plant plates during electroosmosis, from which it follows that the values of the cross-correlation coefficient are significantly affected by the electric field strength of the electroosmosis.
