OCC fa· recycled and used in addition to virgin wood fiber in manufacturing a number of g; ades of paper, especially linerboard and corrugating medium. The converting process poses a recycling problem because of the stickies contaminants associated with these operations,nevertheless the size can be reduced by wet end chemical additives. Meanwhile, a new process for upgrading of recycled fibers involves the use of oxygen delignification which gives the fiber a more 'virgin like' character through the softening and better swelling properties that result from lignin removal, has been introduced.
