Mechanical wood pulp; semi-chemical wood pulp; pulps of fibrous cellulosic material other than wood
CPC v2.1 Code: 32113
About mechanical wood pulp; semi-chemical wood pulp; pulps of fibrous cellulosic material other than wood
cpc code 32113 covers a diverse range of pulp products that are essential raw materials for the paper and paperboard industries. These pulps, derived from both wood and non-wood sources, play a crucial role in the global supply chain, enabling the production of a wide array of paper-based products that are integral to modern life. From packaging and printing to hygiene and construction, the pulps described under this code are the foundation of many important economic sectors.
Production process
The production of the pulps covered by cpc code 32113 involves several key processes. Mechanical wood pulp is produced by mechanically grinding or refining wood chips to separate the fibers, while semi-chemical wood pulp combines mechanical and chemical processes to extract the cellulose. Non-wood pulps, such as those derived from agricultural residues or recycled fibers, often undergo specialized chemical and/or mechanical treatments to extract the desired cellulosic materials.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of the pulps under cpc code 32113 include various wood and non-wood raw materials, such as 03100 Wood in the rough, 01490 Other crops n.e.c., and 38110 Waste, parings and scrap of plastics. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery and equipment, as well as chemicals and energy sources to facilitate the mechanical, chemical, and thermal treatments involved.
Production outputs
The pulps produced under cpc code 32113 are primarily consumed by the 32114 Chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades, 32115 Chemical wood pulp, other than dissolving grades, and 32116 Pulps of fibrous cellulosic material other than wood industries, which further process these materials into a wide range of paper, paperboard, and other cellulose-based products. The outputs of cpc code 32113 are essential inputs for the manufacturing of 32120 Paper and paperboard, 32130 Articles of paper or paperboard, and various other downstream industries.
