Pulps of wood or other fibrous cellulosic material

CPC v2.1 Code: 3211

About pulps of wood or other fibrous cellulosic material

cpc code 3211 covers the production of pulps derived from wood or other fibrous cellulosic materials. These pulps are a critical raw material for the paper and paperboard industry, as well as other manufacturing sectors. The global pulp industry is a multi-billion dollar market, with demand driven by the growing need for paper, packaging, and other cellulose-based products across a wide range of industries.

Production process

The production of pulps under cpc code 3211 typically involves mechanical, chemical, or a combination of mechanical and chemical processes. Mechanical pulping uses physical means such as grinding or refining to separate the wood fibers, while chemical pulping utilizes various chemical treatments to break down the lignin and extract the cellulose. The choice of production method depends on the desired properties of the final pulp product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of pulps under cpc code 3211 include various types of wood or other fibrous cellulosic materials, such as 0200 Forestry and logging or 0140 Growing of perennial crops. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, as well as chemicals used in the pulping and bleaching processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the cpc code 3211 industry are different types of pulps, which are then consumed by other industries, such as 1701 Manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard for the production of paper and paperboard products. These pulps may also be used in the manufacture of 1709 Manufacture of other articles of paper and paperboard, as well as in the production of 2023 Manufacture of soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations and other chemical products.
