Manufacture of paper and paper products

NACE v2.0 Code: C17

About manufacture of paper and paper products

NACE code 17 covers the manufacture of paper and paper products, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the global economy. This sector encompasses the production of a wide range of paper-based materials, from basic writing and printing papers to specialized products used in various industries. As a key supplier to sectors such as publishing, packaging, and construction, the paper manufacturing industry is essential for the functioning of modern society.

Production process

The primary production techniques in the paper manufacturing industry involve the conversion of raw materials, such as wood pulp, recycled paper, and other cellulosic fibers, into finished paper products. This process typically includes steps like pulping, refining, forming, pressing, drying, and finishing, all of which are carefully controlled to ensure the desired properties and quality of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the paper manufacturing industry include wood pulp, recycled paper, chemicals (e.g., bleaching agents, sizing agents, and dyes), and specialized machinery and equipment. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production facilities and maintain the complex manufacturing processes.

Production outputs

The paper manufacturing industry produces a diverse range of outputs, including printing and writing papers, packaging materials (e.g., corrugated boxes, paperboard), tissue and hygiene products, and specialty papers for various applications. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, such as 18 Printing and reproduction of recorded media, 22 Manufacture of rubber and plastic products, and 41 Construction of buildings.
