Article 1. Scope
This Circular prescribes energy consumption
benchmarks in the pulp and paper industry to be applied till end of 2020 and
for the period from 2021 to end of 2025 to the following products:
1. Packaging paper made from recycled
materials.
2. Tissue paper (toilet paper/hygienic tissue
paper of all kinds) made both from virgin and recycled paper pulp.
3. Printing, writing and photocopying paper
produced from virgin paper pulp, non-deinked recycled paper, or made according
to the integrated papermaking process from wood.
Article 2. Subjects of application
This Circular shall apply to paper mills
and other relevant entities and persons referred to in Article 1 herein.
Article 3. Interpretation
1. Specific energy consumption (SEC)
refers to total energy used for producing a unit of product.

3. Details about several packaging paper
products:
a) Testliner paper refers to an industrial
paper product used to make the outer layer of cardboard paper;
b) Medium paper is used as the corrugated
or inner layer of the cardboard box;
c) Chipboard (millboard) paper refers to an
industrial paper product widely used for making cardboard tubes and cores (e.g.
fiber, yarn cores), tea container boxes or paper pallets, paper cardboard
hangers, freight container cardboard linings, etc.;
d) Coreboard paper refers to a paper
product commonly used in the fiber industry and other purposes such as for
winding reels of paper, plastic, etc. materials. Despite serving the same
purposes as Chipboard paper, Coreboard paper is the better paper product with
the higher layer-to-layer adhesion, separation resistance and load-bearing
capacity.

Article 6. Requirements for conformance to
energy efficiency benchmarks
1. Paper mills must ensure that their
specific energy consumption does not exceed energy efficiency benchmarks
specified in Article 5 herein.
2. Where any active paper mill has higher
SEC in production of paper products than the energy efficiency benchmarks
specific to output levels mentioned in Article 5 herein, it shall seek and
adopt solutions for improved energy efficiency in order to ensure conformance
to energy efficiency benchmarks specified in Article 5 herein.
3. In new investment projects, SEC is not
allowed to be greater than the energy efficiency benchmarks specified in clause
2 of Article 5 herein.
...
...
...
Please sign up or sign in to your TVPL Pro Membership to see English documents.
1. During the process of seeking and
adopting solutions for improvement of energy efficiency in the pulp and paper
industry, managerial and technological solutions need to be fully taken into
account.
2. Paper mills are advised to apply advanced
energy management standards and solutions for improvement of energy efficiency
in the pulp and paper industry referred to in Appendix II hereto.
