Paper and board production involves two steps. First, the fibres need to be produced. This is done in a pulp mill where pulp is produced using chemical or mechanical processes. Pulp production can be integrated with paper production, or produced in a separate pulp mill. The paper itself is then produced on a paper machine from a mixture of fibres (which can be virgin or recovered fibres), chemicals and additives. |
