A percentage of water and chemicals is recycled. Papermaking process Pulping and chemical recovery process In integrated pulp mills (mills which produce their own pulp), the black liquor created during the pulping process is a primary source of renewable energy. Black liquor is burnt in the recovery boiler, producing steam and energy which is used in the mill. Paper in the marketplace Despite the rise of electronic media, the use of paper is increasing throughout the world. Paper plays an important role in promoting growth and development. Wood products and the wood fibre in paper store carbon throughout their lifetime and can be recycled or burnt for renewable energy generation. Despatch To mitigate our carbon footprint, we are increasingly moving product by rail rather than road. Recycling process Papermaking Coating Pulping Cutting and wrapping We are driving the use of recovered fibre throughout our operations. The majority of our products are recyclable. We offer many products that meet the needs of environmentally-conscious consumers including: Royal Roto Recycled Royal Web Recycled Triple Green Typek Recycled Opus ® Web Tempo 2009 annual report 15 Effluent Total suspended solids (TSS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) are good indicators of water quality. Globally, the TSS and COD in the effluent we discharge shows a decline over five years. CO2 Our mills emit carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the main greenhouse gases (GHGs) responsible for global warming. Globally, CO2 emissions throughout our mills show a declining trend from 2005. Waste to landfill We add value to waste products in a number of different ways. The ash created by burning bark, branches and other biomass from trees in our mill boilers, can be used as fertiliser and a soil additive Lime mud, a by-product of the pulping process, is used by farmers to control soil pH Waste sludge can be used in applications such as the manufacture of bricks, cement or household products such as cat litter At Enstra Mill, lime produced as a byproduct during the manufacturing process is sent to a wash plant on site. From here it is sold to the metallurgical industry and used to neutralise acid mine drainage in a process patented by the CSIR At Alfeld Mill, coarse pigments from repulping internal broke are recovered from paper machine effluent and reprocessed to substitute virgin material. In another process, coating colour is also recovered from effluent and reprocessed. Methane emitted from landfill Methane, a GHG with a global warming potential approximately 23 times more potent than CO2, is emitted from landfills. Globally, the amount of solid waste to landfill shows a steady decline, in line with our move away from coal-fired boilers to gas- and biomass-fired boilers (Gratkorn and Tugela Mills). our business
16 Our products 1 2 3 Coated paper gives a higher level of smoothness than uncoated paper by applying a coating (typically clay-based) on the surface of the paper. As a result, higher reprographic quality and printability is achieved. Uses include brochures, catalogues, corporate communications materials, direct mailers, educational textbooks, coffee table, photographic and art books, magazines and calendars. Speciality paper can be either coated or uncoated. Uses include bags, labels, packaging and release paper for casting textured finishes (eg artificial leather for the automotive and fashion industries) and security paper for election, passport and vehicle licensing paper. Uncoated paper uses include business forms, business stationery, general printing paper and office copier and home printing paper. We also produce tissue wadding which is converted into various hygiene products.
