Agricultural Residue Paper Market Survey

Second Harvest: Growing the Market for Agricultural Residue Papers

The success of the Wheat Sheet trial with Canadian Geographic showed there is a future for a diversified paper fibre basket. China and India have known this for years, with more than 20% of the paper produced in those countries made from crops like wheat, rice straw and sugar cane bagasse.

In North America, more than 350 book publishers, magazines and newspapers have committed to supporting the development and use of papers made from agricultural residues, yet such infrastructure does not exist yet in Canada and the US.

Where do we go from here? We need your help in order to shape the next steps in creating a future for a North American agricultural residue pulp and paper infrastructure.
