Novel Cellulosic Products and Sustainable Bioresource Engineering

造纸工业是澳大利亚经济的关键产业，特别是在澳大利亚的农村和地区。 6000人直接受雇于造纸公司，另有数千人受雇于为该行业提供服务和投入。 这项赠款旨在通过制定标准来衡量环境影响，以确保该行业的未来;通过使用这些标准和创新材料，大大减少该行业的环境影响;并通过开发新的高利润的产品，包括一个轻量级的瓦楞纸箱，不会下垂湿时，纸矿物复合材料，以捕获和存储绿色家庭气体。

The paper industry is a key industry in the Australian economy and particularly in rural and regional Australia. 6000 people are employed directly by the paper manufacturing companies and many thousands more employed in providing services and inputs to the industry. This grant aims to assure the future of the industry by developing standards to measure the environmental impact; by using these standards and innovative materials to greatly reduce the environmental impact of the industry; and by developing new highly profitable products for the industry including a lightweight corrugated box that won't sag when wet, a paper-mineral composite to capture and store green house gases.
