Summary "Bamboo, Considered as a Paper-making Material" by Thomas Routledge is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book examines the potential of bamboo as a sustainable and economically viable raw material for the paper-making industry, emphasizing its cultivation and processing methods. Routledge argues that bamboo can meet the growing demands for paper due to its rapid growth, high yield, and low cost compared to traditional fibers. In this detailed treatise, Routledge discusses the characteristics of bamboo, including its growth patterns and the chemistry involved in converting it into paper stock. He stresses the importance of harvesting bamboo at an early stage to utilize its fibrous properties before it becomes too woody. Additionally, the book outlines a systematic approach to processing bamboo into paper stock, advocating for a production model that leverages its abundant availability in suitable climates. By juxtaposing bamboo with other fibrous plants like esparto, the author presents a compelling case for its adoption in the paper industry, predicting a significant shift toward this environmentally friendly and efficient source of material.
