The pulp and paper production technology is highly diverse and provides numerous opportunities for the application of microbial enzymes in processes, such as biopulping, biobleaching, de-inking, pitch removal, fiber grafting, paper coloration, and bioremediation of effluents. Enzymes used in the pulp and paper industry are specialized proteins that catalyze specific biochemical reactions to enhance various aspects of paper production. In most instances, the enzymes employed are xylanases, laccases, and rarely mannanases, which offer the potential alternative to conventional, environmental-polluting chlorine and chlorine-based bleaching. Overall, the integration of enzymes into the pulp and paper industry supports more sustainable and efficient production practices while improving the quality of the paper products.
