Today, with the arrival of enzymes as biological catalysts in pulp and paper industry, we are witnessing the development of the industry, improve the quality of paper production, saving cellulose resources and increase crop yields. This article will explain the role of the most important industrial enzymes used cellulase, hemi-cellulase, endoglucanase, Lakaz, lipase and esterase present in the pulp and paper industry. The results showed that the enzyme has advantages such as reducing the need for chemicals, improve the quality of bleached, increased strength and resistance properties of paper, deinking and pulp are removed from the viscous polymeric materials. So improve the quality of the papers are produced without environmental damage. Since the enzyme is more effective than the traditional paper industry, the need for more research on industrial enzymes and their applications in the pulp and paper manufacturing process to further progress seems necessary in pulp and paper industry.
