INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Paper gets its name “papyrus”, a read that the ancient Egyptian used for making a writing
material, they cut papyrus stalks into steps and pressed crises crossed layers of the strips into
sheets.

The paper industry was established in Baghdad around 795.A.D. French man named
“Nicholas Louis Robert” invented a machine. To make paper as continuous roll rather than
sheets. The word paper which is obtained from the Greek word “papyrus” originated in China.
Paper is an important material tool to plan and execute any work in this world.

Indian paper industry is struggling to get raw materials at effective price as there is no
government policy to favour paper industry for forestation and also at importing pulp. Though
quality of final product remained a concern till few years had been sorted out with advanced
technology. Among the larger mills, TN Newsprint and Century Pulp and Paper already have
recycled fibre. Internationally, recycled paper forms 30% of the component as raw materials.

Indian paper industry makes a small 1.5% of the global production of paper and paper
board with a size of around 5.5 billion dollars. The industry was delicenced in 1997 by the
Government of India and made foreign participation permissible. Most of the paper mills are in
existence for a long time and hence present technologies fall in a wide spectrum ranging from
oldest to the most modern. The mills use a variety of raw material eg. Wood, bamboo, recycled
fibre, bagasse, wheat straw, rice husk and recycled fibre. India is the fastest growing market for
paper globally with paper consumption set to rise with the economic growth and is estimated to
touch 14 million tons in the next 5 years (source IPMA).

Paper recycling has several benefits. Using recycled paper to make new paper reduces the
number of trees that are cut down, conserving natural resources. In some instances, recycling
services are chapter than trash – disposal services. Recycling paper saves landfill space and
reduces the amount of pollution in the air from incineration. In India, however only about 20%
waste paper is being currently recovered annually. Low recovery is on account of alternate use of

1
paper in wrapping, packing, etc. lack of source segregation results in waste paper getting
contaminated and becoming unusable.

In comparison in developed countries the percentage of recovery of waste paper is very

high. For instance in Germany it is 73%, Japan 60%, USA 49% and Italy 45%.

1.2 OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING

 CHAPTER – II
INDUSTRY PROFILE

The name paper derives from the name of the papyrus plant, however, the methods of
production are different. Paper is made of pulped cellulose fibres (usually cotton, flax, or wood),
whereas papyrus is made of sliced sections of the inner pithy body of the flower stem of the
papyrus plant, laid in two layers at right angles, pressed together and dried.

According to tradition, paper was first made in AD 105 by Ts'ai Lun (50-118), a eunuch
attached to the Eastern Han court of the Chinese emperor Ho Ti (r. 89-105). One Chinese record
states that he " .First made paper by pulping fishing nets and rags. Later, he used the the fibres of
plants; any which proved sufficiently elastic in tension were used as the raw materials for paper.
The raw materials were first well boiled and then beaten into a mash. they were then stirred into
a pulp and spread on a straining frame or basket. When it had formed a thin tissue, the resultant
paper was then pressed with heavy weights ", although this may not be correct. It is thought that
the origins of Chinese papermaking may lie in the manufacture of bark cloth from the Pacific
Islands.

The earliest known paper still in existence was made from rags about AD 150, discovered
in Turkestan in a ruined tower of the Great Wall of China by Sir Aurel Stein in 1904, however,
there is disagreement in China as to whether some material possibly paper can be dated earlier
than AD 105.

For approximately 500 years the art of papermaking was confined to China, but in 610 it
was introduced into Japan, and into Central Asia about 750. Tradition has it that Chinese
papermakers were captured by the Arabs in a battle near Samarkand in AD 751, thus spreading
the art westwards. In 793, there was a factory working in Baghdad, with Chinese workmen
introduced by Haroun-el-Raschid. The next known place of production was Damascus, which
was to supply Europe for several centuries (particularly with the paper known as Charta
Damascena). Paper made its appearance in Egypt about 800 but was not manufactured there until
900, and from there the knowledge was taken to Morocco, and from Morocco to Europe by the
Moors.

3
 The fastening of papers has been historical referenced to as early as the 13th century,
when people put ribbon through parallel incisions in the upper left hand corner of pages. Later
people started to wax the ribbons to make them stronger and easier to undo and redo. This was
the way people clipped papers together for the next six hundred years.

2.3 INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY
Paper industry in India is the 15th largest paper industry in the world. It provides
employment to nearly 1.5 million people and contributes Rs 25 billion to the government's kitty.
The government regards the paper industry as one of the 35 high priority industries of the
country.
Paper industry is primarily dependent upon forest-based raw materials. The first paper
mill in India was set up at Sreerampur, West Bengal, in the year 1812. It was based on grasses
and jute as raw material. Large scale mechanized technology of papermaking was introduced in
India in early 1905. Since then the raw material for the paper industry underwent a number of
changes and over a period of time, besides wood and bamboo, other non-conventional raw
materials have been developed for use in the papermaking.
The Indian pulp and paper industry at present is very well developed and established.
Now, the paper industry is categorized as forest-based, agro-based and others (waste paper,
secondary fibre, bast fibers and market pulp).In 1951, there were 17 paper mills, and today there
are about 515 units engaged in the manufacture of paper and paperboards and newsprint in India.
The pulp & paper industries in India have been categorized into large-scale and small-scale.
Those paper industries, which have capacity above 24,000 tons per annum, are designated as
large-scale paper industries.
India is self-sufficient in manufacture of most varieties of paper and paperboards. Import
is confined only to certain specialty papers. To meet part of its raw material needs the industry
has to rely on imported wood pulp and waste paper. Indian paper industry has been de-licensed
under the Industries (Development & Regulation) Act, 1951 with effect from 17th July, 1997.
The interested entrepreneurs are now required to file an Industrial Entrepreneurs' Memorandum
(IEM) with the Secretariat for Industrial Assistance (SIA) for setting up a new paper unit or
substantial expansion of the existing unit in permissible locations. Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) up to 100% is allowed on automatic route on all activities except those requiring industrial
licenses where prior governmental approval is required. Growth of paper industry in India has
been constrained due to high cost of production caused by inadequate availability and high cost
of raw materials, power cost and concentration of mills in one particular area.

Government has taken several policy measures to remove the bottlenecks of availability
of raw materials and infrastructure development. For example, to overcome short supply of raw

6
materials, duty on pulp and waste paper and wood logs/chips has been reduced. The number of
trees and other vegetation cut down in order to make paper is enormous.

Paper companies insist that they plant as many new trees as they cut down.
Environmentalists contend that the new growth trees, so much younger and smaller than what
was removed, cannot replace the value of older trees. Efforts to recycle used paper (especially
newspapers) have been effective in at least partially mitigating the need for destruction of
woodlands, and recycled paper is now an important ingredient in many types of paper
production.

The chemicals used in paper manufacture, including dyes, inks, bleach, and sizing, can
also be harmful to the environment when they are released into water supplies and nearby land
after use. The industry has, sometimes with government prompting, cleared up a large amount of
pollution, and federal requirements now demand pollution free paper production. The cost of
such clean-up efforts is passed on to the consumer.

2.4 HISTORY OF PAPER

When we think of the origins of paper, our minds might wander back over 5000 years
ago to the Nile river valley in Egypt. It was there that a marsh grass called Cyperous Papyrus
flourished. The Egyptians cut thin strips from the plant's stem and softened them in the muddy
waters of the Nile. These strips were then layered in right angles to form a kind of mat. The mat
was then pounded into a thin sheet and left in the sun to dry. The resulting sheets were ideal for
writing on. Since they were also lightweight and portable they became the writing medium of
choice of Egyptians, Greeks and Romans for record keeping, spiritual texts and works of art.

It is from papyrus that the word paper comes from. Although papyrus sheets were similar
to paper in terms of function, being laminated sheets they were technically more like a mat and
therefore not the same as the papers of today. Similar processes were developed in other lands -
in Central America during the 2nd Century AD the Mayans fashioned a similar product for
bookmaking. In the Pacific Islands, a paper was made by beating a fine bark over specially
shaped logs to make clothes and ritual objects. However, none of these sheets would qualify as
true paper today.

7
THE AGE OF EXPERIMENTATION

Printing technology rapidly developed and created an ever increasing demand for paper.
The early European papers were made from recycled cotton and linen - and a huge trade quickly
developed around the trading of old rags. It is said that the black plague entered England from
Europe on these old rags. Yet soon this source became insufficient and some curious attempts
were made to source new materials - the most macabre of which was the recycling of Egyptian
mummies to create wrapping paper! Others experimented with fibres such as straw, cabbage,
wasp nests and finally wood, resulted in inexpensive - and replaceable - materials for paper
making. Today, the long soft fibres of softwoods such as spruce have become the most suitable
source of pulp for mass production.

MASS PRODUCTION

The demand for paper also created the need for greater efficiency in production. In the
late 18th century the labours of Nicholas Luis Robert resulted in the creation of a machine that
could produce a seamless length of paper on an endless wire mesh with squeeze rollers at one
end. Perfected and marketed by the Fourdrinier brothers, the new machine made papers soon
replaced traditional single sheets made by hand.

Europe and America, the mass-production of paper became a thriving industry supplying
huge volumes of paper for the production of newspapers, books, magazines, paper bags, toilet
paper, money and a huge variety of other purposes - including clothing, chimney's and even
coffins! Today, the increasing volume of paper consumption has become a complex
environmental matter - and the need for new materials increasingly urgent. While recycling has
done some good, much paper is still wasted.

PAPERMAKING

The Process

Although there are many subtleties which affect the quality of a paper, papermaking in
essence is a simple process. Whether using recycled materials or fresh organic matter, the
process starts by shredding the material into small strips and soaking them overnight to loosen

8
the fibres. Next, the fibres are boiled for 2-6 hours, being turned every so often. When finished,
the fibres are washed with fresh water to remove impurities and then small particles or specks are
removed by hand.

The fibres are beaten in a blender or by hand to a creamy pulp. At this stage, dyes can be
added to create coloured papers. The pulp is poured into a large tub and the fibres are suspended
in the water. The artisan dips a framed screen into the water and with great skill, lifts it to the
surface catching the fibres onto the screen. The screens can either be left in the sun to dry, or be
transferred to boards, pressed, smoothed and then dried.
