We've all heard of e-media substitution and how it is causing declines in paper consumption. It affects mainly communication papers - coated and uncoated, woodfree and mechanical, and newsprint - but at different rates. The rate of decline is also changing over time. In Europe now, the decline is still accelerating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
The article describes the ecowirl technology for efficient instant whirl field dosing and mixing of liquid products into huge flows in the pulp and paper industry. It notes that the system relies on the formation of a complex multidimensional whirl field, created by an injected pushing fluid by a pressure difference. It cites the advantages of simplifying a dosing process to a less complex procedure without prediluting section. A schematic structure of an ecowirl dosing unit is presented.

The author explores a future with sustainable biomass that changes shape and form in different products at wood fiber research and development company Innventia. He cites paradoxical properties that can be combined in a single material like soft and hard, or interactive properties that respond to touch, heat, or electrical signals in the surroundings. He talks about his experience working with biobased materials with hidden properties like semi-conductive paper for building solar cells.

An example is given with Obamacare, an online healthcare program launched by president Barack Obama.The mission of the U.S. Consumers for Paper Options organization, which is against the elimination of paper-based options, is also discussed.
Monitoring 100% quality of thermal paper is one of the most demanding applications performed by automatic surface inspection systems. The new Paper Master inspection system offered by Isra Vision solves this problem with flying colors. This is the reason why many leading thermal paper manufacturers around the world have issued orders to have the latest combined WIS/WBM systems with extremely fast high resolution cameras installed at their locations.
