Abstract
Pulp and paper manufacturing ranks as one of the most water and energy-intensive sectors globally, invariably leading to significant environmental pollution e.g. issues related to air pollution and waste disposal. Also, as global competition intensifies, prices of forest products are expected to keep decreasing. To ensure their viability, traditional producers must augment their revenue streams by diversifying into the production of bioenergy and biomaterials, alongside traditional wood, pulp, and paper products. A feasible solution is the integrated products biorefineries which provide a distinctive chance to pulp and paper industry to enhance revenues as well as reduce their environmental impact. Since pulp and paper stands as the predominant industry in Sweden, this review article explores the emerging biorefinery process options and main technological pathways being developed within Swedish pulp and paper mills. It also delves into the significant challenges that are being encountered in this evolving landscape and what possibilities lie ahead for responsible and sustainable pulp and paper operations.
