Paper, which carries civilization and spreads knowledge, is rooted in nature and is mostly made of renewable natural raw materials wood fiber. The production, reuse and recycling of paper have become an important part of the sustainable development of modern society.
Papermaking is one of the four great inventions of our country and is known as an outstanding invention in the history of human civilization. Recently, the reporter learned in an interview with Shandong Huaqun New Material Technology Co., Ltd. that this enterprise does not use any natural plant fibers such as wood pulp and straw pulp to manufacture paper, and the entire production process does not use a drop of water, and the product can be 100% recycled after use, truly realizing "zero pollution", "zero emissions" and "zero waste".
How to carry environmental awareness through the whole process from paper to use and production? Over the years, countries have developed ways to minimize the impact on nature and the environment. From the cultivation of raw materials and sustainable forest management, to the production of energy efficient and low emissions, to recycling and recycling, these processes reflect the concept of protecting the environment. Environmentally friendly paper is the paper that has environmental protection elements in the whole life cycle from raw materials to production and even sales.
How to efficiently use wood raw materials and energy, reduce emissions, use recycled materials to produce new products, there is too much knowledge, now let's ask some questions.
Q: What kind of paper can be called environmentally friendly paper, environmentally friendly paper = recycled paper?
A: All paper, regardless of its material or production process, as long as it can minimize the impact on the environment, can be called eco-friendly paper. In the paper production process, green paper involves: first, the source of wood pulp, whether it comes from certified or regulated forests, such as FSC or PEFC certified production and marketing chain supply of paper. Second, it does not need toxic chemical treatment, such as chlorine-free bleaching pulp. Whether the processing is environmentally friendly and whether waste is generated. Third, energy use and carbon emissions. In the manufacturing process of low-carbon paper, paper mills will minimize carbon emissions. Fourth, the management and environmental protection policies of paper mills. Fifth, the use of natural pigments. The paper produced by the above methods can be called environmentally friendly paper.
Environmentally friendly paper is not equal to recycled paper, and environmentally friendly paper can be made of 100% raw wood pulp.
Q: What is FSC Forest Certification? Why buy products marked with the FSC certification mark?
A: Also known as timber certification, it is a tool that uses market mechanisms to promote sustainable forest management and achieve ecological, social and economic goals. FSC Forest certification includes Forest Management (FM) certification and Chain of Custody (COC) certification. Forest management certification, also known as forest sustainable management certification, is a process for forest management units to be audited by an independent third-party FSC forest certification body in accordance with the established forest management standards, in accordance with recognized principles and standards, in order to prove that it meets the requirements of sustainable management. Chain of custody certification is the identification of all production stages of a wood processing company, including the entire chain from the transportation, processing and distribution of logs, to ensure that the final product originates from a certified well-managed forest.
