No one can do everything Chris, when we have made waste paper a rare and valuable commodity we can worry about the fiber,just kidding:} .
It is always good to think outside of the box but you do have to stick your nose to the grindstone at times. There is a lot of waste paper of there.

I respect the point that often the best thing to do with paper is to
recycle it- Still, Don't you think we are up to far more than that?
For instance, how about research into fiber reinforced lightweight
concrete composite structures - did you not realize the fiber can come
from many sources in agriculture,(cotton lint etc.)This technology has
been around for thousands of years, still for many of us on this
website we are still learning. I hope I can speak for others when I
say you are welcome on this web site - come on and use that active
brain and help us - how about an analisis of different fiber sources
and the energy it would take to use them - stand up papercreters - let
us get down into the science of it- your thoughts all!- Clyde at www.
