Abstract

Waste paper, a large component of municipal waste, can be recycled into bioethanol, a sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel. Many researches have created ethanol from print-grade paper, but there is little literature on the conversion of waste cartons. In this letter, I suggested that scrap corrugated boxes and print-grade papers could be reduced to slurries and tested for biosynthesis suitability by using physical and chemical methods. Cellulose fibers in the slurries were hydrolyzed directly into glucose without first being pretreated with weak hydrochloric acid and then fermented into ethanol by using biomolecules.

Keywords:Paper waste; Biofuel; Biomolecules; Hydrolysis
