Pulp and paper production relies heavily on the interconnection between water, energy and biomass resources.

Energy is required for boilers and steam generation, while large volumes of water are used throughout production processes. At the same time, significant quantities of wastewater and sludge are generated.

This results in strong pressure on resource consumption, with the need to improve efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and increase recycling of materials and by-products.
