BEET- PULP project : New additive in paper

Use of beet-pulp (residue after the sugar extraction of sugar beet)

Use of beet-pulp (residue after the sugar extraction of sugar beet), after bleaching and micronisation as additive in papers and boards in order to make them:

--> more resistant : this cellulosic additive has more affinity to fibers than mineral fillers.
--> more economical, as this additive can replace part of the fibers.
--> more recyclable, as it will enable to use less mineral fillers during the production of papers and boards.
