The packaging industry relies on more than 140 million tons of petroleum-based polymers every year, a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Meanwhile, paper is an attractive bio-based, renewable, recyclable alternative, but its use as a lightweight and strong alternative material remains limited by its relatively low ductility and strength. Paper damage and failure almost always occur in the fiber-fiber bond zones: improving the strength and strain at failure of cellulose fiber mats therefore requires a much finer understanding of the physics and mechanics of fiber-fiber bonds and of the fiber walls surrounding them. This is precisely the ambition of the ANR FIBERBOND project (2024–2028) around the objective of drastically improving the ultimate strength and strain of wet
