About pulp; of fibrous cellulosic material, other than of bamboo or fibres derived from recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard or from cotton linters pulp, mechanical

HS code 470691 covers the production of pulp from various fibrous cellulosic materials, excluding bamboo, recovered paper/paperboard, and cotton linters. This industry plays a crucial role in the global paper and packaging supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of paper-based products. The demand for this type of pulp is driven by the growing need for sustainable and environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional materials.

Production process

The production of pulp under HS code 470691 typically involves mechanical or chemical processes to extract and refine the cellulosic fibers from various plant-based sources. The key steps often include harvesting and transporting the raw materials, mechanical grinding or chemical digestion to separate the fibers, and further processing to remove impurities and adjust the pulp properties to meet specific requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include various types of plant-based fibrous materials, such as wood, agricultural residues, or other cellulosic sources. Specialized machinery, including grinders, digesters, and refiners, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, chemicals, energy, and water may be required, depending on the specific techniques employed.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is pulp, which is then used as a raw material for the production of 470710 (Recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard), 480100 Newsprint, in rolls or sheets, 480200 (Uncoated paper and paperboard, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, and non-perforated punch-cards and punch tape paper, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size), and a variety of other paper and paperboard products. The specific characteristics and properties of the pulp can be tailored to meet the needs of different downstream industries.
