ITC's PSPD Division manufactures Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) paper, which is an environmentally preferable alternative to paper bleached with chlorine.

Chlorine and its derivatives (such as chlorine dioxide)-the most common bleaching agents used by the pulp and paper industry-are quite harmful - particularly the aquatic - to the environment.

Chlorine is used to give paper its white appearance and to remove "lignin," an element of wood fibre that yellows paper when exposed to sunlight (as occurs with newsprint).

We manufacture a stunningly wide range of papers to meet communication, packaging and specific industrial needs.  The range reflects the amazing variety of human uses of paper and the depth of our specialization and knowledge base in developing these unique grades.
