Editorial: Looking forward, looking back, TAPPI Journal January 2022
ABSTRACT: Much like 2020, 2021 was another year of remarkable highs and lows delivered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines, variants, and infection surges altered the way we behaved personally and professionally last year. As we move into 2022, we are now grappling with health and business concerns from the omicron variant that has overwhelmed hospitals in some areas and contributed to a global supply chain crisis. The ability to adjust has once again become a key skill in adapting to our shifting “new normal.”

Editorial: Special issue showcases new additive approaches for a lignocellulose-based future, TAPPI Journal January 2024
ABSTRACT: Lignocellulose-derived materials are inherently renewable and are of benefit not only through their recyclability and biodegradability, but also from carbon sequestration during the production of the base raw material. With regulatory agencies tightening restrictions and consumer habits slowly shifting, the paper industry is well positioned to fill a market need for renewable bio-based materials. Although the inherent benefits of lignocellulose-based products are many, all too often, the end-product does not meet the required performance or cost in use desired by end-users. This creates obstacles for a more renewable economy that relies less on petroleum-derived products.

Editorial: Special coating issue contains highlighted works from TAPPICon 2023, TAPPI Journal November 2023
ABSTRACT: Did you know that TAPPI’s Coating and Graphic Arts Division has changed its name to Coating, Printing, and Surface Enhancement (CPSE) Division? This change occurred mid-year, as our members realized that the new name fits much better with the day-to-day workings of the Division, as well as the broader activities to functionalize and add value to paper and paperboard that continue to expand into new arenas.
