Abstract
We present a pilot scale investigation into the influence of grammage and formation on a family of mechanical properties of recycled paper. Our results are consistent with those reported in the literature and show that the tensile index and short compression index exhibit a maximum with respect to grammage and are dependent on formation at grammages below about 140 g m-2. The results show potential to retain the strength of paper and paperboard products whilst reducing grammage if forming conditions are optimised.
