Pulps of fibres derived from recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard or of other fibrous cellulosic material

In plain English

This heading covers pulps made from fibers found in recovered paper or paperboard, as well as other fibrous cellulosic materials. The categories distinguish between pulp derived from waste paper, cotton linters, and bamboo. Other materials are further divided based on their production method, specifically whether they are processed mechanically, chemically, or through a combination of both techniques.
