Abstract
An overview of the availability of bagasse and cotton plant stalk in India for manufacture of pulp and paper is given. The properties of pulp and paper produced using both the raw materials separately and in blends have been discussed. The possibilities of using kraft pulp of cotton-plant stalk for blending with chemi-mechanical bagasse pulp, replacing hardwood pulp, have been explored. Addition of kraft pulp of cotton-plant stalk in various proportions yielded papers with improved properties.
