Method for making paper from post-industrial packaging material

A method of producing paper from post-industrial packaging material comprising the steps of:

• pulping a first material that includes post-industrial packaging (PIP) having at least one of sisal fibers and jute fibers to make a volume of PIP containing stock;
• recirculating the PIP containing stock between a surge chest and a refiner during a first time period;
• pulping a second material that includes at least one of (i) post consumer fiber (PCF) to make a volume of PCF stock, and (ii) non-PCF wood-based fiber (WBF) to make a volume of WBF stock;
• combining the volumes of PIP containing stock and the at least one of PCF stock and WBF stock to make a volume of mixed fiber stock during a second time period;
• running the mixed fiber stock through a paper machine to produce paper incorporating at least one of sisal fibers and jute fibers;
• and
• making a paper product from the paper, wherein the paper product has a basis weight of less than about 65# per (24×36-500) area and has a wax pick value of about 13 or greater.

• combining the volumes of PIP containing stock and the at least one of the PCF stock and the WBF stock to make a volume of mixed fiber stock wherein the at least one of the sisal and jute fibers defines at least about 50% of a total fiber mass of the mixed fiber stock;
• and
• running the mixed fiber stock through a paper machine to produce paper having a basis weight of less than about 65# per (24×36-500) area.
