The Indian Paper Industry makes a small 1.5% of the global production of paper and parperboard with a size of around 5.5 billion dollars. The industry was delicenced in 1997 by the Government of India and made\u00a0 foreign participation\u00a0 permissible. Most of the paper mills are in existence for a long time and hence present technologies fall in a wide spectrum ranging from oldest to the most modern.The mills use a variety of raw material eg. wood, bamboo, recycled fibre, bagasse, wheat straw, rice husk and recycled fibre. India is the fastest growing market for paper globally with paper consumption set to rise with the economic growth and is estimated to touch 14 million tons in the next 5 years (Source IPMA)<\/p>\n
Paper Recycling in India<\/strong><\/p>\n Paper Recycling<\/strong> has several benefits. Using recycled paper to make new paper reduces the number of trees that are cut down, conserving natural resources. In some instances, recycling services are cheaper than trash-disposal services. Recycling paper saves landfill space and reduces the amount of pollution in the air from incineration. In India, however only about 20% waste paper is being currently recovered annually. Low recovery is on account of alternate use of paper in wrapping, packing, etc. Lack of source segregation results in waste paper getting contaminated and becoming unusable.

\nIn comparison in developed countries the percentage of recovery of waste paper is very high. For instance in Germany it is 73%,\u00a0 Japan 60%,\u00a0 USA 49% and Italy 45 %.\u00a0 Sri Jayalakshmi Enterprises, a Chennai based enterprise is one of the leading company in the recycling of old paper and cardboard for final recycling.<\/p>\n\n
