Plantation & Forestry 
The hard wood that is used as a raw material is sourced from Social Farm Forestry initiatives, where the farmers grow trees which help to maintain wood sustainability, reduce CO2 emissions and increase green cover in the region. As of FY – 24, a total of 104.39 lac plantations have been done. We are proud to be certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council for our conservation efforts.

Water Management 
We have successfully reduced our water consumption from 41.49 m3/ton (FY-15) to 25.97 m3/ton (FY-24) which helps us minimize wastewater generation and effluent discharge. We currently have 49 different water conservation schemes budgeted for future.

Emission Control 
We have undertaken major steps to reduce CO2 emissions by installing a 2.6MWp solar plant which increases our renewable energy portion, and water sprinkling systems that control fugitive emissions. Additionally, coal is replaced with biomass fuels derived from Perul (pine tree leaves) and barks from wood.

Solid Waste Management 
Our waste management system follows the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principles. We identify, monitor, and categorise waste into hazardous and non-hazardous and are aligned to our group’s target of zero waste to landfill

Sustainability Initiatives 
Along with Wood, using Bagasse & Recycled Fibre as raw material – Renewable Resources.
Coal replacement with biomass fuels: Total Renewable Energy is 35-40% 

• Perul (Pine tree leaves) are being collected from hill areas and used as fuel in place of coal. 
• Bagasse pith 
• Wood dust/Bark 
• Black Liquor 

• Commissioning of New Tissue Machine in Apr’2021 with energy efficient technology (Shoe press & Re-dryer)
• Installation of Energy efficient 275 TPD Evaporator No -4
• Installation of energy efficient refiners.
• Lime kiln to re-convert lime sludge into CaO which is again used in White liquor generation in Chemical Soda recovery section - Recover i.e. – Wealth out of Waste.
• Bellmer Press technology for Primary sludge dewatering for high dry sludge Reuse – Wealth out of Waste.
• Innovative Green technology for treatment of High COD wastewater (Bagasse wash water) for conversion into Biogas by UASB (Up flow Anaerobic sludge blanket) process. It contains 55- 65% Methane and others are CO2 , Moisture , H2S etc. This gas is further converted into Compressed Methane Gas “CMG” of 98% methane through Caustic and Water Scrubbing for use in Tissue plant.
• Separate treatment of Recycle Paper plant wastewater and its complete recycling for raw material washing and thus “Zero liquid discharge (ZLD)”.
• ASP technology with diffused aeration followed by Tertiary treatment having MBBR & Chemical process for wastewater treatment - Reduction of COD/BOD/TSS & Color
• CPP is the first company in India to sell all ESCerts (Energy Savings Certificates) under PAT Cycle.
• Continuously working on new product development to increase the market share, substitute plastics with new paper and board variants etc. and thereby drive business growth.
• Conversion of Diesel Forklifts into Battery operated Forklifts. |
• Various initiatives and measures taken by HR team to improve the employee engagement and their wellbeing and thereby build a healthy work environment.
• Regularly carried out CSR activities in Health & Sanitation, Swachh Bharat, Welfare, Education.
• Followed focused approach of 3Rs i.e. Reduce, Recycle and Reuse for water management which has significantly reduced water consumption from 60 m3 to 26 m3 per ton of paper in last 10 years.
• Installation of 2.6 MWp solar Plant
• Installation of PCC plant for manufacturing CaCO3 which is being used as filler in paper manufacturing.
• Reduction in CO2 emissions by 16000 tons of CO2/ annum 
• Major Waste – Used/ spent Oil is incinerated in lime kiln as Hazardous waste.
