Molded pulp article and method for producing same

This makes it possible to achieve a molded pulp article that has high strength and can be dried in a short time during production. In the molded pulp article (MP2), the proportion of fibers having a fiber length of 1 mm or less in the pulp is in the range of 15% to 35%, the average fiber length of the pulp is in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 mm, the nitrogen content is in the range of 200 to 1800 [mu] g/g, and the thickness is in the range of 0.8 to 2.0 mm. 能够实现具有高强度、且能够在短时间内完成制造时的干燥的纸浆模塑成形品。在纸浆模塑成形品(MP2)中，纤维长度为1mm以下的纤维在纸浆中所占的比例在15％至35％的范围内，所述纸浆的平均纤维长度在1.5至2.5mm的范围内，氮含量在200至1800μg/g的范围内，厚度在0.8至2.0mm的范围内。
