L2M – Development of Waste Paper Biomass Technology: Transformation of Recycled Waste Paper into Carbon-Based Products.

Waste paper is considered to have no value, destined for landfills. There is significant potential to process this waste and convert it to value added carbon-based products that will be developed, tested, and produced, namely Biochar, activated carbon, and carbon electrodes. Biochar is used in the agriculture industry for soil remediation to promote plant growth, activated carbon is used for oil, air and water filtration, and carbon electrodes are used in lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors.
