It is inevitable that wastes generate from papermaking processes, nevertheless, it is possible to reduce significantly the amount of landfill disposal by minimizing waste generation and promoting waste utilization.
We are promoting the activity, called “Zero Discharge Campaign”, for eliminating the wastes carried into the final disposal site by the above mentioned ways. The amount of wastes finally disposed (i.e., the amount of landfill disposal) in our company was about 150, 000t in 1995, then we are addressing the plan to reduce it to nearly 4, 200 t during 1997 and 1998, which corresponds to 0.12% of our product weight.
As for the fields of utilization, coal ash and effluent sludge burned ash are often processed on commission as the raw material for cement, meanwhile, we are going on the works on selling the granular carbonized product from effluent sludge and finding new uses for coal ash.
So as to promote our campaign, the consciousness reformation of all personnel and the mighty leadership of our top management as well as the eagerness of the interested persons in each mill are indispensable.
