Pulp and Paper Industry is amongst
the top 20 highly polluting industries in India. The paper industry is
confronted with environmental issues which differ from one segment to
another. The problems of AOX and colour in discharge effluents,
mercaptans emissions and disposal of lime sludge are some of the key
problems the large mills are confronting with. The mills based on
agro-residues, in absence of an economically viable chemical recovery system
are discharging liquid effluents to the receiving streams causing pollution.
Introduction of effective pollution control measures has become essential in
view of public awareness. There is a need that industry should adopt cleaner
production technologies to minimize the waste at source.
The recent
issues before the paper industry are to study the life cycle assessment of
the products emerging from the paper industry to evaluate its impact on
global warming. The various projects undertaken by the institute to address
the environmental issues are as follows :
