WOOD PULP
AMONG the European countries Sweden occupies the foremost position as producer
and above all as exporter of woodpulp. The following table shows the
development of as well the mechanical as the chemical woodpulpindustries in Sweden during
the last 30 years.
Year. Mechanical wood-pulp.
1890................... 42,000 long tons drv weight
1895. ................ 89,500
1900...................125,000
1905.................. 187,000
1910...................274,000
1915...................300,000

Chemical wood-pulp.

1,100,000 (normal capacity).
As it appears from the above, it is particularly the chemical woodpulp industry
(celluloseindustry), that has attained a remarkable development in Sweden, and by way
of comparison the manufacture of cellulose in other countries during 1913 is given
below, this year being the last for which reliable information from all the different
countries can be had.

Of the European countries, Germany was the only that could show a production
nearly equalling that of Sweden, while the production of the other countries was
considerably smaller.
Sweden’s position amongst the principal woodpulpexporting countries is shown in
the following table relating to the exports of 1915:
The export from Cell ulose tons, dry weight Mechanical woodpulp, tons, dry weight Total amount in tons, dry weight
