India is the fastest growing paper market in the world (6% per annum; by 2024-25 Indian demand is projectedto increase to 23.50 million MT). However, alongside this trend is the huge amount of industrial waste,especially lignocellulosic material that accumulates as part of this expanding industry. This proposal addresses anumber of urgent problems relevant to India, including a) a strengthening of the countries economic positionthrough the emerging bioeconomy, b) the need to tackle major and growing environmental wastemanagement challenges and c) addressing countrywide poverty prevalence through new employment. Ourteam will develop an innovative biorefinery and commercial strategy to establish a demonstrator platform forthe sustainable conversion of paper mill waste into high value chemicals. This platform will be used to drivesustainable expansion through commercial inward investment. This technology will lead to reduction inindustrial waste/pollution, and improve value recovery from waste in the paper and pulp industry sector. Theproposal will strengthen India's economic position, address major waste challenges and tackle rural poverty.

印度是世界上增长最快的纸张市场（每年6%;到2024- 2025年，印度的需求预计将增加到2350万吨）。然而，伴随这一趋势的是大量的工业废物，特别是作为这一不断扩大的行业的一部分而积累的木质纤维素材料。该提案涉及与印度有关的一些紧迫问题，包括a）通过新兴的生物经济加强国家的经济地位，B）应对重大和日益增长的环境废物管理挑战的必要性，以及c）通过新的就业机会解决全国范围内的贫困问题。我们的团队将开发一个创新的生物炼制和商业战略，以建立一个示范平台，可持续地将造纸厂废物转化为高价值的化学品。该平台将用于通过商业对内投资推动可持续发展。这项技术将减少工业废物/污染，并提高造纸和纸浆工业部门废物的价值回收。该提案将加强印度的经济地位，应对主要的废物挑战，并解决农村贫困问题。
