The pulp mills market is an essential segment within the broader pulp and paper industry which focuses on the production of pulp from wood and non-wood sources. Pulp is the primary raw material used in the production of various paper products, including printing and writing paper, tissue, and packaging materials. Pulp mills perform various processes to break down raw materials into cellulose fibers, employing mechanical, chemical, or a combination of both methods to produce different grades of pulp. These methods include groundwood, kraft, and sulfite pulping processes, each offering distinct qualities to the final paper product. Bleaching is another critical process that can be included to produce a whiter pulp, which is often required for high-quality paper products. Some notable companies in the pulp mills market are International Paper, Stora Enso, Georgia-Pacific, Sappi, Oji Holdings Corporation, and UPM-Kymmene. These enterprises manage extensive operations that include forest management, raw material processing, and pulp production, and many of them are involved in sustainability initiatives such as responsible forestry practices and recycling programs to mitigate environmental impacts. The market includes a mix of dedicated pulp producers and integrated companies engaged in both pulp and paper manufacturing. Show Less Read more
