Waste wood fibers turned into carbon capture material

Researchers have engineered a way to spin leftover kraft lignin—a pulp mill byproduct—into fibers that absorb carbon dioxide and dyes from water. The advance could let pulp manufacturers convert waste into a profitable, climate-useful product without expensive new equipment.
