Currently, secondary fiber from waste paper, consisting of white types of paper, is subjected to bleaching for the production of sanitary and hygienic products. The aim of this paper is to investigate the possibility of bleaching secondary fibre from MS-5B waste paper (waste from corrugated and boxboard) for its use in the production of WLC boxboard with a white cover layer instead of the bleached sulphate pulp, which is used today. An analysis of literary sources has revealed that the bleaching chromophore groups with hydrogen peroxide is the most promising method for the secondary fiber from waste paper grade MS-5B. This method is more environmentally friendly compared to others, since its use does not involve the inclusion of chlorine-containing reagents in the process and requires less energy costs due to the absence of delignification. The study established the optimal technological parameters for bleaching: hydrogen peroxide concentration – 30 %, bleaching duration – 60 min, process temperature – 70 °C. However, at these technological parameters the whiteness increased only from 23 to 36 % with an improvement of optical properties without a significant decrease in the physical and mechanical properties, because bleaching had almost no effect on the morphology of the fiber. Using more "rigid" technological parameters led to an increase in the whiteness from 23 to 50 %, but at the same time, the strength properties of the fibres noticeably decreased. The lignin content reduced after bleaching under “rigid” conditions using TCF technology.
