Even in the manufacturing process, our environment has been of prime concern. The recovery boiler and the power boiler are designed for low emission. The machinery is designed with a state of the art washing and screening system to consume less water and power and have lower effluent levels.

How is it done?

The paper mill that produces this paper is a one of a kind in the World. The production method is quite simple; they harvest the wheat using the grain for traditional reasons such as flour, cereal etc. The mill uses the waste hull from wheat and rice to produce an organic fuel (BIO-FUEL). This is then burnt to generate heat which in turn is used to boil self collected and recycled water. This water is used to not only clean the paper, but also produce steam to turn the turbines and generate 80% of the plant’s required Green Power.

The straw, a by product from wheat production, is ground and then mixed to produce a quality paper pulp. The pulp is whitened using a sodium salt and oxygenisation process. This process is the only known commercial whitening process that is 100% environmental because we reuse the water many times. Unlike bleach or chlorine based systems whose two chemicals can only be used twice in the production process, before they have to be disposed of causing a risk to environmental areas from runoff, dumping and contamination of ground water resources.

Once whitened the pulp is formed into paper. The waste from the production process is recycled and made into cardboard boxes to hold the paper.

Why make Paper from wheat straw?

The massive amount of trees cut down to make paper in Australia each year is alarming. 17 trees are cut down and wood chipped for every tonne of paper used in Australia and with 1.6 million tonnes of paper per year produced in Australia alone, that’s tens of millions of trees wood chipped in paper production each year.

By producing a high quality product for everyday use in printing emails, reports, flyers, invoices, plans, schedules etc that costs the same or less than you may currently be paying, AND places your business in a more environmentally conscious position, Nature’s Paper hopes to save millions of trees every year without it costing you the earth.

Nature's Paper is an ISO 9001-2000 and OHSAS 18001-1999 system accredited company.
