PARTNERING WITH THE PLANET KEEPING OUR EARTH CLEAN AND GREEN.
Our conscious initiatives towards a sustainable future include:

Power Consumption:

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 – 25, a total of 111.58 lac plantations have been done & 220.26 lacs plantation has done till November of FY-26. 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 25.02 m3/ton (FY-25) which helps us minimize wastewater generation and effluent discharge. We currently have 52 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. Co2 is also being utilised for production of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC).

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 25 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.

Century Pulp & Paper runs a number of forest and water conservation initiatives in line with its corporate philosophy. The application of these initiatives has received recognition within the industry for its social and environmental responsibility.

Hard Wood is derived from social farm forestry initiatives and farmers in region are growing trees thereby increasing Green Cover in the region.
Eucalyptus clones are being developed in Mist Chambers and distributed to farmers in nearby areas for sustainability of raw material.
Our dedicated team is working to increase plantation through farmers in their catchment area by distributing eucalyptus & poplar clones and seedlings. Total 220.26 lacs plantation have been done till November FY-26.
Bagasse and recycled waste paper used as raw material eventually helps in conservation of forests
ECF pulping at the new fibreline (pulp mill) is chlorine-free

Hard Wood Pulp from Social Agro-Forestry Our Tissue products are 100% Virgin based pulp and prime raw material is Hard wood. This hard wood is being taken from Social agro farm forestry and encourages farmers for commercial afforestation and to grow trees like Eucalyptus & Poplar, thereby increasing Green Cover in the region. Eucalyptus clones are being developed in Mist Chambers and distributed to farmers in nearby areas for sustainability of raw material. This initiative promotes sustainability and offers significant environmental & social benefits. The green cover is helping in reducing the amount of C02 in the Environment i.e. CO2 is being sequestered by the plant. Our dedicated team is working to educate farmers to increase plantation in our catchment area and distributing eucalyptus & poplar clones and seedlings for plantation.
