Pulp and Paper Manufacturing

Pulp and paper manufacturing transforms raw materials like wood, recycled paper, or plant fibers into paper products. The process begins with pulping, where fibers are broken down into a slurry. This slurry is cleaned, refined, and then spread on screens to form a continuous sheet. The sheet is pressed to remove excess water, dried, and sometimes coated or treated to improve quality. These steps result in various paper types used for printing, packaging, and other applications. The industry focuses on sustainability by recycling materials and managing waste carefully.
