Alpha Amylases are the oldest use of enzymes for pulp and paper and are used to "cook" or modify the starch so it can be used to size the paper. The replace a traditional high temperature cook.

Xylanases are commonly used to help improve the bleaching of brown Kraft cooked pulp allowing for reductions of 10 to 25 percent ClO2 bleaching chemicals.

Cellulases are used in the deinking of wastepaper improving the brightness and reducing the dirt specs. And, they are used to help improve the refinability of pulps in the stock preparation prior to paper making which results in energy and steam drying reductions.
