Newsprint From Wheat Straw Tested In Pittsburgh
A low cost newsprint from Pennsylvania wheat straw will be tested on high speed Metropolitan presses. Dr F W Hochstätter announced straw pulp will be produced in Pittsburgh next week and shipped to Tarentum for tests. About 10 tons of finished paper will be distributed to three Pittsburgh newspapers to test tensile strength and speed performance. He noted alternative wastes like Florida grass seaweed and cotton stems could also be used. The process could cut newsprint costs by about 10 to 15 dollars per ton versus wood pulp prices and help farmers dispose of wastes while conserving forests.
