Sappi

South African headquartered Sappi, a leading global producer of dissolving wood pulp and graphics, speciality and packaging papers, uses research and development to drive product innovation and to develop new uses for its renewable resource (woodfibre) as well as for the biomass and other residues from its production processes. One such area of investigation is nanocellulose; a new forest products material which Sappi believes will play a key role in its future suite of products, both as a product in itself and in its applications.
