Food counterfeiting also happens in the US – in some cases, cheap and even dangerous ingredients are being used to produce “fake” versions of expensive cheese, such as parmesan made using additives derived from wood pulp.

A glut of long-range goals in this summer's European Championship turned attention on the ball, with suggestions that something about Adidas' creation – which contained sugar cane and wood pulp – favoured strikers more than goalkeepers.

Chemically processed wood pulp, for example, can be used to create flavor molecules that are chemically identical to those in vanilla.

This pulp can then replace the corresponding wood pulp used in today's viscose process.

Fabrics like recycled polyester and those made from wood pulp have a lower carbon footprint, but they too have an environmental cost as their production could lead to deforestation, Ms Singh says.
