Abstract

The pulp and paper industry is one of the most important industries in the world. The global demand for paper products is significant, evidenced by the more than 400 million tons produced annually. In today’s world of scarce raw materials, increasing energy costs and talent shortages, managing resources more sustainably is becoming a potential game changer for all sectors. Pulp and paper companies today are highly motivated to operate sustainably and there has been a growing demand to adopt waste minimization strategies in order to create a minimum impact mill which means a concept with a broader range of issues and challenges covering minimisation of resource and emissions, minimising cross-media effects, taking into account economic aspects and working environments. The general background on Green Chemistry and Sustainability in Pulp and Paper Industry is presented.
