The paper and allied products industry comprises three types of facilities: pulp mills that process raw wood ber or processed ber to make pulp; paper and board mills that manufacture paper or board; and converting facilities that use these primary materials to manufacture more specialized products such as writing paper, napkins, and other tissue products. The process of converting paper is not a source of water or air pollution, as is the case for the rst two facilities. This chapter focuses primarily on the greatest areas of environmental concern within the pulp and paper industry: those from pulping processes.
