Brahmaputra Paper Pvt Ltd

TEZPUR, Sept 20: Brahmaputra Paper Pvt. Ltd. has recently come up with their Kraft paper manufacturing facility at Dolabari in Tezpur with its motto of ‘‘Saving the Environment through Recycling’’, apart from industrial development of the region by generating direct and indirect employment opportunities. This was disclosed by Director of Brahmaputra Paper Pvt Ltd Ritesh Tibrawala at a press meet held in Tezpur yesterday.

The company plans to manufacture Kraft paper with its captive power generation unit and waste water effluent treatment plant. The company is the first of its kind in kraft paper industries of North Eastern states having its own captive power plant. It utilizes various agricultural and industrial wastes to faciliate its manufacturing activities. The main raw material used is waste corrugated boxes which are recyled to manufacture kraft paper for reuse as raw material in corrugated box industries, thereby saving plants which could otherwise have been cut for producing paper.

The company uses rice husk as one of the main source of fuel to generate power in its own captive power plant. Due to its nature, rice husk does not get decomposed easily. With its state of the art technology, the company uses rice husk to generate power and is also planning to establish an industry to make fly ash bricks by using the fly ash produced in its plant.

The company has also installed an effluents treatment plant to recycle the waste water for reuse in manufacturing process and thus fulfills its commitment of zero percentage discharge. Even the sludge drain-out during the manufacturing process passes through effluents treatement plant and is again reused in the manufacturing process.

The initiatives undertaken by the company goes a long way in protecting the enironment through recycling and discharging minimum wastes in comparison to the normal practices. THE SENTINEL
