A lignocellulosic non-wood material sarkanda available in abundance as waste, was evaluated for chemical constituents, pulping behavior, morphological properties, bleaching behavior and paper handsheet strength properties. The study exhibits that sarkanda has potential to be utilized for papermaking. Such approach of using non-wood raw material with elemental chlorine free bleaching and total chlorine free bleaching sequences for papermaking can be a valuable approach for reducing pollutants generation, utilization of waste biomass and fulfillment of fibrous raw material requirement for paper industry.
