Australian sugar cane source of cheap paper and packaging. . .

Bagasse, the "fibrous sugar cane waste from sugar production" can be used to make economical writing paper, facial tissue and packaging. The innovations in production of products made from the bagasse fiber were discovered by a researcher at Queensland University. The researcher says that he has "overcome a major technical hurdle to optimizing bagasse fiber so it can be made into pulp for the production of paper, board, structural and packaging materials."
