The Paper Express[R] Kit is an educational kit that includes a video and a manual that explains five science activities for the classroom in hand papermaking, cryogenics, analytical chemistry, light and optics, deinking and recycling.
This technique does not require a low temperature environment, and therefore the temperature-related difficulties of cryogenics are said to be eliminated.
During the show's recycling conference sessions, one technical paper detailed some applications where cryogenics works and some where it doesn't.
