In this research it was analyzed the possibility of producing handmade papers with good properties from mixtures of recycled fibers with kraft pulps of bamboo (Dendrocalamus giganteus) and sugar-cane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum). Handmade papers with higher folding endurance and tear strength were produced with the mixtures whose compositions had 20 % or more of sugar-cane bagasse pulp. Papers with higher smoothness and burst strenght were obtained from mixture of 80 % of waste paper mass and 20 % of bagasse pulp. It was observed that mainly the bagasse pulp can be used to improve the properties of the handmade paper.
