Mechanical Wood Pulp (MWP) is a type of pulp used in the Pulp and Paper industry. It is made from wood chips that are mechanically ground and screened to produce a pulp with a high content of cellulose fibers. MWP is used in the production of paper, cardboard, and other paper products. It is also used in the production of tissue paper, filter paper, and other specialty papers. MWP is a cost-effective alternative to chemical pulps, as it requires less energy and fewer chemicals to produce. It is also more environmentally friendly, as it does not produce the same amount of pollutants as chemical pulps. Additionally, MWP is more durable than chemical pulps, making it a better choice for products that require a longer shelf life. Some of the major companies in the MWP market include International Paper, Georgia-Pacific, Weyerhaeuser, and Domtar. These companies produce a variety of MWP products, ranging from tissue paper to cardboard. Additionally, there are many smaller companies that specialize in producing MWP for specific applications.
