A challenge of modern industry is to ensure the sustainability of its products in
manufacturing activities, the flow of materials and goods to the end customer,
as well as the return to facilities of those materials with possibilities for such
recovery, without compromising the present and future
environmental Sustainable materials, in addition to being reused at the end of
their useful life, are those that imply the use of a lesser quantity of inputs and
energy resources without exhausting the natural sources of raw material, and
without directly and indirectly contaminating the environment. This quality of
the packaging is closely related to environmental performance parameters such
as the Carbon Footprint and the Greenhouse Gas Emission (GHG). In the 70s,
after the finding that the use of elemental chlorine, traditionally used as a
bleaching agent for cellulose pulp, generated the emission of a series of
organochlorine compounds with negative environmental impacts. promoted
the cellulose industry worldwide, to the search of alternatives to the use of this
element, propitiating in immediate years, the greatest technological and
environmental advances of this industrial sector, giving rise to the development
of two technological families, the ECF ( Elemental Chlorine Free) and TCF (Total
Chlorine Free). In this sense, ECF technology replaces elemental chlorine as a
bleaching agent, using chlorine dioxide, while TCF technology has the advantage
of not using elemental chlorine bleaching in any of its forms, but using
compounds oxygenated as bleaching agents. However, regardless of the type of
technology, the adoption in each case requires a deep analysis of the
technological, economic and environmental context to determine which is the
most appropriate (Luraschi, 2007). Nowadays, the use of responsible
technologies associated with the process of obtaining cellulose pulp,
comprehensively assesses the environmental impact throughout its life cycle
(CV) until its final disposal.
