‘Make in India’ vs. Making Paper in India: A Balancing Act?
This is an excerpt from an article originally published in the Jun-Jul 2017 issue of Paper Mart India magazine (www.papermart.in). With the incessant and nagging challenges of raw material availability, adherence to environmental norms, and competing with swiftly increasing cheaper imports, India’s pulp and paper industry has the arduous target of creating 1,000,000 tonnes (metric tons) of integrated capacities in pulp, paper, and paperboard to meet consumption demands—a daunting task without conducive policy environment. Does the Indian government’s “Make in India” campaign take stock of challenging manufacturing conditions in this vital industry? The editors of Paper Mart India interviewed experts in India’s growing pulp and paper industry to learn more.

Considerations in managing wastewater odor at pulp and paper operations, TAPPI Journal March 2022
ABSTRACT: Many pulp and paper mills are, at least periodically, faced with the release of odors that can migrate offsite and be considered a nuisance by nearby residents. At chemical pulp mills, perceptible odors associated with reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs) are common, many of which are highly perceptible owing to their low odor thresholds. As releases of RSCs and other odorous substances from production processes are progressively controlled, the proportional contribution from wastewater treatment systems to areal odors can increase. This review paper summarizes important fundamentals of odor generation, source identification, and control. Common odorous substances are identified, and mechanisms for their generation are summarized. Approaches for measuring odorous substances are detailed to enable more effective management, and various odor control strategies are discussed.
