About manufacture of articles of paper and paperboard
NACE code 17.2 covers the manufacture of a wide range of paper and paperboard products, which are essential components in various industries and daily life. This sector plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing raw materials and packaging solutions for a diverse range of applications, from publishing and printing to food and consumer goods. The manufacture of articles of paper and paperboard is a significant contributor to economic growth, employment, and sustainability initiatives as the industry continues to evolve and adapt to changing market demands.
Production process
The production of paper and paperboard articles typically involves a series of well-established processes. The primary raw material, wood pulp, is obtained through mechanical, chemical, or a combination of pulping methods. The pulp is then refined, bleached, and formed into sheets or rolls of paper or paperboard using specialized machinery. Depending on the desired product, additional finishing processes such as coating, laminating, or embossing may be applied to enhance the paper's properties and functionality.
Production inputs
The manufacture of articles of paper and paperboard relies on several key inputs, including wood pulp, recycled paper, and various chemical additives. Specialized machinery, such as paper machines, calendars, and converting equipment, are essential for the production process. Additionally, energy sources, water, and skilled labor are important resources required for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of NACE code 17.2 include a diverse range of paper and paperboard products, such as 17.21 Manufacture of corrugated paper and paperboard, and of containers of paper and paperboard, 17.22 Manufacture of household and sanitary goods and of toilet requisites, 17.23 Manufacture of paper stationery, and 17.24 Manufacture of wallpaper.
