Using chlorine dioxide to bleach wood pulp is a process known as elemental chlorine free (ECF). Since no elemental chlorine gas is used, no carcinogens such dioxins or compounds that resemble them are created during the bleaching process. Using chlorine dioxide to bleach wood pulp is a process known as elemental chlorine free (ECF).
Since no elemental chlorine gas is used, no carcinogens such dioxins or compounds that resemble them are created during the bleaching process. ECF. (Elemental Chlorine Free) (Elemental Chlorine Free) When a paper is designated as ECF, chlorine dioxide is used to bleach it instead of an ecologically unfriendly chemical. TCF may be bleached using chlorine gas.
Paper pulp is a raw material used to make paper that comprises fibres from plants, minerals, or man-made materials. When moisture is taken out, it turns into a matted or felted sheet on a screen. Various consumer and specialist items, including paper printouts, receipts, post-its, and envelopes, employ pulp. paper cups, napkins, tissues, toilet paper, and cardboard.
The Global ECF pulp paper market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Technology ECF A new sign of optimism for a greener future
Elemental The pulp and paper industry uses chlorine, which is hazardous to the environment in general but especially to aquatic life. Chlorine, a bleaching chemical, creates byproducts such chlorinated compounds, dioxins, and furans when it is used to turn paper white.
Thus, the chlorine residue created during the papermaking process results in harmful contaminants such organochlorides and dioxin. These dangerous chemicals, once released into the environment, enter animals’ food chains and build up in their fat cells. Seafood and other aquatic life forms are sources of dioxin and other contaminants that reach human bodies.
Elemental Chlorine Free technology has been chosen by Trident as they modernise their front line in an effort to remain competitive on the global stage. As opposed to mills that use wood as their primary raw material, Trident is the first paper mill in the world to use this technique on wheat straw (agro residue) to produce virgin pulp, saving close to 5000 trees daily. The pulp is made without the use of any waste cutting.
