Nonwood materials are typically short fibrous, what is the strength of paper?
Nonwood fibres have very good bonding properties and their volume is high, so the strength is above 50 Nm/g, which is enough also for high speed paper machines. Due to good bonding properties, need for refining nonwood pulp is minimal. There are also available nonwood plants, which have much higher fibre length than in wood. Therefore, high quality tree free papers are reality.
