At The Sugar Cane Paper Company, we strive to use the best available technologies in our manufacturing processes to minimize any possible environmental impact.
During most of the 1900's, elemental chlorine was used as a low cost, highly effective pulp bleaching agent. However, during the latter part of the 20th century, it was found that elemental chlorine bleaching was creating toxic organo chlorides, most notably dioxins that are known carcinogens, and that these toxins were being discharged into our waterways, the water we drink as well as habitat for flora and fish.
In our facilities, we have adopted elemental chlorine free (ECF) bleaching as the best available technology. This bleaching process uses chlorine dioxide (instead of elemental chlorine) as its reaction with organic material is an oxidative reaction that does not create any toxins.
Our facilities are amongst the most advanced papermaking facilities in the world and maintain the highest standards of technology and production capability. The Sugar Cane Paper Company's bagasse paper mills are spotless.
At The Sugar Cane Paper Company, we are extremely proud that after years of research and development, our high quality, eco-friendly Sugar Cane Products are made using best available technology in an environmentally-friendly manner. |
