Enhancing Pulp Quality in 2025: Insights & Industry Trends

: According to Reuters (May 13, 2025), Empresas Copec reported challenges in the Chinese pulp market due to unpredictable U.S. tariffs. Average pulp prices fell to US $678/ton in Q1 2025, down 11% year-over-year. With demand uncertainty, producers are doubling down on quality control and consistency to remain competitive (Reuters).

: As virgin pulp becomes increasingly scrutinized for its environmental footprint, suppliers are transitioning toward recycled fibers, alternative sources (e.g. bamboo, hemp, agricultural residues), and bio-refined pulp. These materials offer comparable performance while reducing carbon impact, aligning with global expectations on responsible sourcing (ECOLOGICAL FIBERS).

Elemental Chlorine-Free (ECF) or Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF) sequences (e.g. OZEPY, OpZEP)—are essential to achieve top luminosity while minimizing harmful by-products (e.g. dioxins) (维基百科).
