Abstract

The adoption of circular economy principles is paramount to the sustainable transformation of cellulose production. The circular economy emphasizes the continuous use and recycling of materials, reducing waste and environmental impact. In cellulose production, incorporating recycled materials minimizes the demand for virgin resources, conserves energy, and mitigates environmental degradation. By embracing circularity, the cellulose industry contributes to resource efficiency, lowers its carbon footprint, and aligns with global sustainability goals, fostering a more resilient and eco-friendly production model. The present study developed a circular economy-based model as per recycled materials for the production of cellulose with the application of MATLAB 2019b software. In the created model, kinetic equations for cellulose synthesis are applied. As well, a sensitive analysis is done due to the behavior of the presented sustainable system during that time.
