Nowadays, a huge amount of recycled fiber are used as raw material to decrease production cost and preserve forest resources. But recycled fibers are known that their mechanical and optical properties are lower than that of virgin fiber. Therefore, this study has been carried out to evaluate the properties of recycled fiber from pulp bale by controlling the pulping temperature and dosage of sodium hydroxide during recycling process. As a result, mechanical property of recycled fiber was improved at the conditions of high temperature and high dosage of sodium hydroxide.
