Mission
of the Role

To advance
pulping science to improve yield, fiber morphology, and develop alternative
feedstocks for paper and molded fiber, enabling stronger, lighter, and more
sustainable packaging solutions.

Key
Responsibilities

1. Optimize
fiber morphology by enhancing fiber length, bonding, and surface
characteristics to improve product strength, printability, and overall
performance in paper and molded fiber products.

2. Explore
and evaluate alternative feedstocks such as bamboo, wheat straw, and other
agricultural residues beyond bagasse,



developing tailored fiber blends for
specific product applications.

3. Advance
chemical process R&D; by optimizing pulping formulations, improving cooking
and bleaching yields, and reducing chemical load and toxicity to create more
sustainable and productive processes.

4. Lead
pilot studies to scale innovative pulping methods from lab to mill level,
generate data-backed feasibility assessments, and validate commercial viability
through pilot runs.

5. Establish
robust fiber testing protocols and lab capabilities to measure morphology,
tensile strength, burst, and folding endurance, benchmarking outcomes against
global quality standards.

6. Integrate
sustainability across pulping operations by reducing energy use, enhancing
chemical recovery, minimizing effluent load, and aligning R&D; efforts with
mill operations and packaging requirements for efficiency and recyclability.

7. Strengthen
