Environmental Guidelines for Pulp and Paper Industry: A Technical Review. UNEP Environmental Management Guidelines No. 4

The Pulp and Paper industry is one of the major industrial sectors agreed for examination. Consultations have been undertaken with experts nominated by Governments, industry and international governmental and nongovernmental Organizations, culminating in a Seminar, held in Paris on March 1975, where the state of the art of existing remedies, outstanding problems and possible avenues of research and development to resolve these environmental issues was assessed. This report gives a synthesis of the evaluation that has taken place, and highlights the technical aspects that pertain to the environmental issues emanating from the Pulp and Paper industry.
