Progress in Paper Recycling (PPR) is a quarterly electronic journal exploring the science, technology, and economics of using scrap papers to manufacture recycled pulp, paper and paperboard products. PPR includes special features not available elsewhere, including the annual “Industry Institution Dialog,” which summarizes ongoing research projects and the research needs of the paper industry related to recycling. PPR’s “Conference Review” provides brief summaries of recycling-related papers presented at trade conferences during the prior six months, and the “Patents Review” feature discusses recently issued patents that impact the paper recycling industry.
